Journal of Extension, v62 n1 Article 6 2024
The COVID-19--induced moratorium on campus visits allowed faculty from University of Missouri's Agricultural Education & Leadership (AEL) program and Missouri Extension time to reconsider our campus visit structure and be more purposeful in our recruitment efforts. We organized a showcase to expose high school students to career paths and help them understand how our program could help prepare them for career success in the formal agriculture classroom, Extension, or the agriculture field. We urge extension professionals to consider how they can be involved with events that raise students' awareness about career opportunities while simultaneously recruiting the next generation of extension employees.
