WORC is thrilled to announce our Compost Facility Operator Training (CFOT) will be taking place in-person!
Students, speakers, and instructors will connect at WSU’s Puyallup campus for 5 days of in-depth training about composting the Pacific Northwest.
In addition to learning about the basics of compost manufacturing, trainees will hear from experts in the field on topics ranging from soil biology to state regulations. They will also participate in hands-on activities, build their own experimental compost piles, and tour multiple facilities in the region.
Whether trainees are looking to get involved with compost professionally, expand their knowledge of the compost industry, or become a certified facility operator to meet your site’s regulatory requirements, CFOT is the course for them. Don't miss out!
