There is a growing demand for recent college graduates entering the workforce in the agricultural sector. The resources in this kit are based on nine agriculture career focus areas:

1. Agribusiness Systems
2. Agricultural Education
3. Animal Systems
4. Biotechnology Systems
5. Environmental Service Systems
6. Food Products & Processing Systems
7. Natural Resources Systems
8. Plant Systems
9. Power, Structural, & Technical Systems

 

Each area includes:

• One lesson that introduces students to the career focus area and associated career opportunities
• Three standards-based, interdisciplinary supplemental activities that each feature a different career from that area
• One take-home activity sheet that introduces students to another career from that area through a fun, engaging activity.

 

The resources are designed to focus on one career focus area each month during the school year. If you choose to follow this structure, we recommend having a weekly career day. The main lesson is presented the first week of the month, followed by the three supplemental activities. This is a free full-color downloadable curriculum.
