Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Building the Future Agricultural Workforce in the U.S. encounters significant changes, including limited awareness of the range of agriculture-related career opportunities available across academia, public and private sectors; declining interest in agriculture and in government; an insufficient supply of highly skilled, technologically sophisticated professionals to meet the food, agriculture, natural resources, and human sciences (FANH) workforce demands; and an important gap in diversity in higher education.
The goal of this project is to enable the consortium to build and sustain the next generation of a diverse FANH workforce through domestic and international experiential learning, outreach, and engagement programs. The specific objectives are to:
1) Develop and sustain resilient partnerships between the consortium universities and organizations with a vested interest in building the future workforce in FANH and allied disciplines.
2) Establish and sustain effective and responsive outreach and engagement projects (OEPS), including student career development activities, and understanding of process and pathways to federal employment.
3) Develop innovative recruitment, training, and retention initiatives such as student scholarship projects (SSPS) and leadership development activities to attract diverse students to FANH fields.
4) Implement paid impactful domestic and international experiential learning projects (ELPS) for students to better understand the wide array of career opportunities across FANH.
Each partner university has been assigned a number of responsibilities and adequate resources to effectively accomplish the project's objectives. Monitoring and evaluation tools will be used to ensure an efficient and effective management of resources and personnel following the project timeline.
