INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The National FFA Organization in Indianapolis has teamed with Discovery Education and AgCareers.com to promote careers in the agriculture economy. A report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture says there will be more than 60,000 jobs annually over the next five years and analysts say there won’t be enough skilled college graduates to fill them.
The partnership has established AgExplorer. AgExplorer features more than 200 agricultural career profiles that include job responsibilities, educational requirements, average salary and openings available. The intent of the program is to help students to get college and their career ready by identifying interests and academic strengths with the types of careers available.
