Green Collar Jobs Training Program Update (7/1/09)

Another day in the office! For the offline workers, the office again was the Pacific Aquaculture and Coastal Resource Center where they would be working with Joe Bernabe. The trainee's task for the day was collecting and prepping kalo for transplanting.

With the help of Joe once again, the team was able to emphasize their taro knowledge with some cutting, sorting, and replanting lessons. The whole process of preparing the taro there pretty much involves cutting off the roots and using the stem for re-growth. But by now, the group has gotten the hang of it since this is their third visit to the facility.

Back at the office in the Hawai‘i Innovation Center the online training team continued to update the websites, blogs, images, and videos.
