What: Field trip to Williamson’s Fresh Produce in Oxnard for a classroom presentation and walking tour discussing career opportunities in agriculture: STEM Careers in 21st Century Agriculture aims to teach middle and high school students about the diverse job opportunities available in agriculture; from running a farm, to working in laboratory, and so much in between. Students are shown the pathways to achieving these jobs, including subjects to focus on in school, higher education related to agriculture, training, internships, and other experiences that may help them prepare. Students get excited about being involved in local agriculture, and to potentially pursuing a career in this diverse industry.  See attached flier for more details.
