professional development and growth.

the development of alliances with community and business leaders
are essential for program success.

marketing strategy in place to attract and retain students and
the support of the community that is being served.

stresses applied learning. It provides a well-rounded, practical
approach to learning through classroom education combined with
hands-on supervised agricultural career experience such as starting
