Beautiful Day’s 24-week market training program includes both a classroom and hands-on component.  For 2 hours each week, participants learn about marketing, sales, customer service, and point-of-sale technology.  The remaining 8 hours are spent working with our market managers and vendors to provide Beautiful Day product demonstrations at stores and sell our products at one of 7 participating farmers’ markets.  

With the assistance of volunteers we coordinate field trips to give trainees new perspectives on the Rhode Island job market while also providing different levels of public interaction.  Each week trainees get paid for hours worked at farmers’ markets, for demonstrations they perform at local grocery stores and events, and for attending our classroom workshops.
