Workforce Development
University of Maryland Extension reminds us that agriculture across the state is diverse. From vast open farmlands to urban plots, agriculture offers opportunities for innovation and collaboration. While crops, animals, and natural resources are necessary components of agriculture, human relationships are central to food systems and a career in agriculture.
Whether you are working towards a career in the field or research lab, or at the center of policy, employers look for interpersonal competencies and the technical skills needed for the job.
Career Readiness
Your Leadership & Professional Development curriculum is based on the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) framework for career readiness.
"Career readiness is key to ensuring successful entrance into the workforce. Career readiness is the foundation upon which a successful career is launched. Career readiness is, quite simply, the new career currency". - NACE
