Description:

CA Education Programs horticulture placements are carefully designed to meet the needs of international participants interested in gaining a technical and cross cultural experience at one of CAEP's host training placement sites. The CAEP hosts are eager to work with motivated young people from around the world to provide training in one of the several types of placements which make up the Horticulture Program.

The Horticulture industry in the United States is growing as more people move to the metropolitan areas. The CAEP horticultural placements offer participants an exciting opportunity to learn more about this dynamic industry.

Horticulture placements are located throughout the United States. Horticultural placements are also available in Florida, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Ohio. New Horticulture placements are being developed in other parts of the United States.

Individual training objectives will be discussed and organized with the participant on arrival at the training placement site.
