Episode #5 Your Host
Welcome back to episode #5 of the International Greenkeepers For Hire podcast. Now some of the keener listeners might have noticed that this episode isn't following the usual end of month release. This is because we’ve introduced mini episodes to our usual formatting. I've done this because while I was listening back over the past episodes of the podcasts, I realised I haven't really introduced myself properly. This is just a quick insight on how I got to where I am today.

It was founded by Michael Chrisman in 1979, with guidance from Dr. Mervin G. Smith, former chairman of Department of Agricultural Econimics and Rural Sociology and Director of IPA.
With the goal of promoting global opportunities for international students and young farmers to obtain practical on-the-job training in the U.S, the Program provides opportunities for American students to find internships in other countries like Netherlands, Australia, France, Denmark, China, etc. The Program's ultimate aim is to promote the general interest of international exchange and to disseminate modern concepts of agribusiness."
