Agricultural Education graduates are in large demand throughout the entire United States. Over the last few years, there has been a shortage in both high school agricultural teachers and 4-H extension agents. These jobs are outstanding opportunities for those wanting to share their passion of agriculture to others.
Education is a very worthwhile career opportunity.
It provides those involved, with the ability to both educate and change lives. It is a career area where we need the best-qualified individuals if we are going to continue educate and develop the next generation of agriculturists. As the Coordinator for Teacher Education in the School of Agriculture, it is my responsibility to see that students are given the best opportunity to prepare for careers in agricultural education. This is a roll that I take seriously and desire to see those in our program have the ability to have practical hands-on opportunities to work towards the goals they have sought for themselves. Trips, clubs and special activities are promoted for students to be involved in at the local, state and national level.
