College Agriculture Instructors-

The Illinois Ag Ed Family has been working together over the last month providing students an opportunity to talk with various Ag Industry friends every weekday at 2pm on our Facebook Live Show called the IL Ag Career Corner.  Our goal has been to provide students and teachers E-learning opportunities and connect our students with ag professionals. 

We would also like to give students a chance to learn about where they can go to get degrees and certificates in agriculture so we will be devoting some time to University and College Agriculture Programs.  If you are interested in having your institution participate please complete this link by May 5th. 

We are tentatively looking at May 11th or May 15th as our Community College Day, specific times will be worked out based on the speakers schedule.  Below are details on how the interviews will work.  If you would like to check out the IL Ag Career Corner you can watch all of the interviews on the Illinois Association FFA Facebook Page or on the IL AG ED YouTube Page.

Interview Details:

• Interviewees will be using the Facebook Live Platform (we have an account set up, if the speaker is not on Facebook)
• The only requirements needed to do a Facebook Live is reliable internet and a laptop or phone with a video camera
• Speakers will get on at their assigned time (directions and tutorial video are provided along with an opportunity to practice beforehand)
• Speakers will then take questions from students live during the video.
• Interviews traditionally last 15-20 minutes
