Since
1928, FFA has worked to create CDEs
that demonstrate the meaningful
connections between classroom
instruction and real-life scenarios.
Career development events focus on
student success. Career
opportunities abound within today's
agribusiness and agriscience
industries; the key to achievement
lies in the ability to think
critically, communicate clearly, and
perform effectively in a competitive
world. These skills and many others
are enhanced through participation
in CDEs.
Students can explore several areas
among the estimated 300
agriculture-related career
opportunities--from agricultural
sales to livestock evaluation, farm
business management to food science
and technology. In order to succeed
in the national event, students must
work with peers, teachers, business
leaders and community leaders to
gain a complete and comprehensive
picture of what it takes for a
person to succeed in the related
career area. Preparing for a CDE is
preparing for the future. |
