The competencies available through the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources Program are designed to prepare students for entry into agricultural career fields or additional educational opportunities. Students will be provided classroom instruction, laboratory experiences, supervised experiential learning, and connecting activities.

The competencies are intended to serve as a guide in developing the instructional program for each individual course. The competencies are based on the industry-identified skills, teacher recommendations, and national established competencies. Further refinement of these competencies through the involvement of the local program advisory committee is recommended. The development and implementation of individual student competency profiles are also recommended to document skill training and performance.
