Growing A Future In The Floral Industry! - 2003
The American Floral Endowment has teamed with the Society of American Florists to develop a floriculture brochure titled, "Make People Smile-Grow Your Future in the Floral Industry." "A lot of research went into this project, with the end project being an excellent recruitment tool for the floral industry, " said, Steve Martinez, Executive Vice President, American Floral Endowment.
The Career Brochure gives a brief overview of the industry and leads the reader through the rewarding career paths available in the floral industry. For people who love flowers, there exists a growing demand for trained professionals who have strong business skills and horticultural knowledge. Careers are available as commercial growers, floral wholesalers, retail florists, researchers, and other segments, such as, botanic garden staff, teachers/professors, hard goods merchant, importer, sales representatives, wire service, and many other areas.
The brochure can be viewed by logging onto either organization's website or they can be ordered for a small fee, plus shipping and handling by contacting the American Floral Endowment at 618-692-0045.
The American Floral Endowment is the only industry-wide, industry-based, not-for-profit organization totally dedicated to research and education development benefiting the entire floral industry.
