This week, my cooperating teacher and I conducted an SAE visit. We visited Wyatt who works at a greenhouse and nursery operation. Wyatt works there just about every day and helps with various tasks.
His main job is to transplant the plants to different locations and help load them or arrange them. He is often driving around on the gator taking plants where they need to go. He doesn't work much with the sales of the plants, just the maintenance work.
Besides asking Wyatt when would be the best time to visit, we didn't need to prepare anything beforehand. During the visit, we asked him a few questions about what his responsibilities are and what tasks he completes. Throughout the year the plants change and there are certainly busy seasons (especially around the summer and early fall) so he expects to see it get busier in the near future. We also asked if there was anything we could help him with or provide advice on. Wyatt has a fairly simple employment SAE and he has a good handle on his work responsibilities, so he didn't need much assistance. He just keeps track of his hours and income and the tasks he completed in his records for the SAE project.
It was a nice visit and a good opportunity to see a project that is different from our first round of visits which were focused on production.
