Today ACTE has released CTE: Developing the Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Workforce, the sixth in our revamped series of Sector Sheets describing CTE’s role in growing the workforce for vital industry sectors. The Sector Sheet series is published with support from ACTE’s long-time partner Pearson.
These revised Sector Sheets describe career opportunities and share how CTE prepares learners for the workforce in each sector, all in a new format featuring streamlined text and additional graphics to make these advocacy tools even more effective.
This Sector Sheet describes how CTE supports the agriculture, food and natural resources workforce, which employs more than 3.5 million people nationwide. It shares information on occupations, earnings and credentials that enable individuals to enter and progress within fields such as animal systems, plant systems and environmental and natural resources. Finally, the Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Sector Sheet demonstrates the importance of CTE in developing this workforce by describing how CTE prepares learners through courses, industry credentials, work-based learning, career and technical student organizations and more.
As we move forward with these revamped Sector Sheets, both the newer and older Sector Sheets will be available on the ACTE Sector Sheet webpage for download and use. We encourage you to share these tools with students, counselors, policymakers and others to spread the message about CTE and its benefits for students and the workforce.
