Planning For
Progress Program
(Career Planning & Career Progress)
This program is designed to help postsecondary agricultural students explore
occupations, set educational objectives and carry out a plan to meet these
objectives.
Career Planning
The Career Planning part of this
program involves a cooperative effort between local schools and local
agricultural businesses and industry. The program emphasizes leadership,
human relations, goal setting and achievement, involving the development of a
sound educational process. There are 28 Career Planning areas that relate
to and will become part of seven Career Progress areas. (See Chart Below)
Career Progress
The Career Progress portion involves the creation, fulfillment and evaluation of an educational
actions plan by
the individual student. The program begins when a student
completes the Career Planning Program, which
includes a personal education plan
for learning the competencies necessary for employment in the chosen
field of
agriculture. Such a plan will normally include formal study, supervised
on-the-job
training and perhaps unsupervised work experience. (See Chart
Below)
