Students Experience Career Development Events Since 1928, the national FFA Orga- nization has worked to create career development events (CDEs) that demonstrate the meaningful connections between classroom instruction and real-life scenarios. CDEs are designed to help prepare students for careers in agriculture and build upon what students learn in agricultural classes and FFA. CDEs test the abilities of individuals and teams in 23 major areas of agricultural instruction. More than 3,000 youth travel from across the country to participate in these different national CDEs. Through intense hands-on activities, students are asked to perform specific career skills. Industry professionals act as judges, so the participants receive a real understanding of how they would perform in real careers in agriculture. Winning teams and high individuals receive scholarships. Agricultural Communications Sponsored by the National FFA Foundation. The National FFA Agricultural Communications CDE is a competitive activity that tests students’ skills in all areas of the agricultural communications field and evaluates how well they can apply classroom knowledge to real-life situations.
