Session 8: Ag Career Network

Last Thursday we had two great speakers give a presentation on the Ag Career Network. We learned some valuable information from the two.

Responds to ticket outs:


What are you curious about?

  • How many scholarships are available through career cruising?
    • By being a high school senior or college student you may recieve one scholarship per year for a total of two years. 
  • Can students use the AgCN after they graduate?
    • As long as you are a member of your local chapter you can us AgCN for up to three years after graduation. Once graduated you can still have access if you are part of a collegiate FFA and then after graduation college you may have access as an FFA Alumni
  • Can the Learning Styles Inventory be printed out?
  • How to get students motivated to complete the career cruising test
    • This can be done by making every unit have a career section to it or just by doing a unit on careers. Students do not want to do anything unless they see the results are worth it. Just making things worth grades may help as well. 

What did you learn?

  • excel can be uploaded into AgCN, it is a websource we can use for an FFA program
  • Learning Styles

What do you want to learn more about?

  • My journey
    • I am not sure when my journey will be avaiable, however, Haley has offered for you guys to be the beta testers for the program. If you are interested please email me and I can give her your contact. 
  • Are there different types of accounts in AgCN, if so what features are available for each?
    • There is an account for teachers where rosters can be uploaded and then there are accounts for students. 
  • Can anyone access the financial aid section to search for scholarships? Is it limited to HS students?
    • This is limited to members only. Therefore, anyone who is not part of AgCN, will not have access.
