The National FFA has developed a partnership with Career Cruising and {AgCareers.com} to assist members interested in ag-related careers.

In December, National FFA launched the Ag Career Network that allows FFA members to maintain records and provides a database of students interested in particular careers. This fall, the Ag Career Network will offer enhanced features.

Through Career Cruising, FFA members will be able to access online career-related information, including recommendations for classwork and hands-on learning opportunities. Career Cruising also will connect students to career mentors and employers in their towns.

With its job board, {AgCareers.com} will allow FFA members to search for career opportunities in a certain field or geographic area.

Members also will be able to access information for internships and career options during their college years.

In addition, graduating FFA members will be offered a free, five-year associate membership in the National FFA Alumni Association, which will allow them continued network access.
