Welcome to Montana 4-H Congress! You and 300 of your closest friends have been shipwrecked on a deserted island when your 4-H cruise liner went down somewhere in the Pacific. Your only way off the island is to make some new friends, learn some new things and utilize your leadership skills to work together and charter a new course for home.
In this workshop participants will learn the fundamentals of interviews for developing a plan to interview professionals working in farms, labs, and food processing jobs. The focus will be on careers in agriculture including: food production, research, processing, marketing, and policy. We will visit two facilities associated to some of these careers (e.g. farms, labs, and food services). Participants will interview professionals about their careers’ opportunities and expectations. The workshop will culminate with the production of a poster to showcase career opportunities in food systems. The workshop will start at MSU, then we will drive to two facilities (up to three miles from campus) to tour the facility and interview professionals, finally we will come back to MSU for the poster production.
