National Pork Board Professional Swine Manager Program

The Professional Swine Manager Education Program is a comprehensive work-study program focusing on modern pork production. It helps prepare you to manage a sow farm, grow-finish units or departments within each type of production systems. Courses emphasize the science and knowledge that will position you for promotions and allow you to make better decisions as a production manager.

The program was created by the Pork Checkoff in conjunction with the National Pork Board. The courses for the Professional Swine Manager program are delivered in partnership with South Central College in North Mankato. Since the classes are offered online, the curriculum is available nationwide to help employees master core competencies.

More information can be found on the US Pork Center of Excellence’s website. 

These classes are taught completely online through South Central College.
