Short courses

Training provided by IGP allows international participants to develop technical knowledge and skills in areas that will allow them to be more informed purchasers and processors of U.S. grains and oilseeds. The training programs acquaint international business and government leaders with current trends and issues affecting the grain and oilseed industries.

IGP courses, usually one to two weeks in length, typically include case studies, lectures and laboratory demonstrations. Courses also often include tours of industry facilities, farms, country elevators, the Kansas City Board of Trade and other sites of interest. Faculty members from K-State's Department of Grain Science and Industry and industry experts facilitate the educational courses.

IGP regularly schedules two short courses every year: Grain Purchasing and Feed Manufacturing.

IGP also offers the KSU Resident Milling Program which includes eight weeklong courses that are held in conjunction with IOAM. (This program has replaced IGP's annual Flour Milling Course).

As the foundation of IGP's training programs, these courses, conducted in Manhattan, Kansas, annually attract hundreds of participants from throughout the world.

IGP also develops special courses upon request.
