Black Gold is a family-owned business and that’s reflected in our workplace culture. Each employee is considered a valued member of the Black Gold team and a vital contributor to our success. We are dedicated to hiring and retaining good people and providing them with continuous educational opportunities to make them even better. We recognize both the professional achievements and personal accomplishments of our employees. As owners and managers, it’s important to us that the people of Black Gold enjoy rewarding careers in a safe, productive and growth-oriented environment, and give back to the communities where they live and work.
Our comprehensive training program includes clearly established goals for all Black Gold employees. We provide both internal and external training opportunities to help them reach these goals. Internal training programs are designed to give our employees the skills and knowledge needed to perform their specific Black Gold job functions, but we also encourage employees to participate in external training programs that provide them with more general job development training and industry insight.
Black Gold strives to employ quality people and takes pride in the fact that we have many long-term employees. The Black Gold team includes farm managers, agronomists, farm technicians and office assistants in locations across the country. Qualifications for each type of job vary—ranging from high school diplomas to associate and bachelor’s degrees or higher. Through our practice of ongoing training, employees are continually being developed to take on new responsibilities and are often promoted within the company.
