NC State`s Agricultural Institute has been able to increase student recruitment efforts and enhance career readiness thanks to generous funding provided by the Golden LEAF Foundation. The funding has been applied to four areas: a new agricultural operations certificate, a new food animal and poultry processing curriculum, a mentorship program and support for internships.
“It’s wonderful witnessing the impact that the Golden LEAF Foundation funding is having on potential and current students, especially those in rural North Carolina communities,” says Alyssa DeGreenia, AGI assistant director. “This funding enables opportunities for the development of the agricultural workforce.”
