This event is ideal for high school sophomores and juniors. However, all high school students are welcome to attend.
This event will give students the opportunity to explore career options in the agriculture industry. They will get to participate in face-to-face learning experiences as well as have the opportunity to develop their business networking skills with the help of dozens of representatives from local agriculture businesses.
Following registration, students will have the opportunity to hear from an inspiring keynote speaker.
Following the keynote, students will have the opportunity to interact in small groups with agricultural professionals. During this time, they will get the opportunity to ask questions and receive advise and encouragement from agricultural professionals about their career path.
Students will also visit the Northwest Ag Show and participate in a guided learning opportunity to both interact with exhibitors as well as observe and reflect on STEM components of agriculture.
Thanks to a generous grant, this event is available at no cost to students or schools. Transportation expenses will be reimbursed.
