Description
FCU features content developed by nationally and internationally acclaimed industry expert, Dr. David Kohl, and content specialists at AgFirst Farm Credit Bank. Dr. Kohl is Professor Emeritus of Agricultural and Applied Economics at Virginia Tech and a leading instructor of the Graduate Schools of Banking at Colorado and LSU. Kohl conveys his decades of experience to trainees through interactive online applications and real world case studies along with ?war stories? that bring life to the program. FCU is presented in an online format, developed by ECI, a leading provider of financial analysis and decisioning software for agriculture; but online training is just the start of FCU. A mixture of face-to-face sessions with other trainees and personal interaction between the trainee and mentor provides a well-rounded educational experience. Class exercises are not just busy work, but provide solutions to local institutions? problems and add new energy to the organization, building on institutional memory and experiences that will soon be lost due to retirements. Mentors are trained as trainers, sharing experiences of other successful mentors.
