Agricultural program graduates are in high demand and have many career opportunities locally, regionally and nationally. The agricultural sector is the largest employer in Grant County, accounting for 27% of jobs countywide (Washington State Employment Security Department).

The Agricultural Engineering curriculum offers a great variety of course experiences to choose from. Subject areas include computer-aided engineering, fluid power, finite element analysis, natural resource conservation, and engineering properties of biological materials. Excellent career opportunities exist in product engineering, equipment research and design, facilities design, and engineering management. Practical applications in lab intensive classes (every ABE3-credit hour class has a lab) and significant opportunities to be involved in clubs (1/4-Scale Tractor, PUP, ASABE Robotics) are important assets. Students in this program earn a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering.

The Animal Care and Management T Level comprises two main parts: the Common Core (where learners will cover key aspects of business, sustainability, ethical principles, health and safety and safe working practices) and the Occupational Specialism – these are key units covering animal welfare, health, behaviour, husbandry and specialised units covering exotic, wild and native animals, biology, anatomy and physiology amongst others.

The purpose of this qualification is to develop the transferable skills, attributes, and behaviours needed for you to progress to further study and ultimately to employment.

This course is ideal for you if you wish to become an Animal Care and Welfare Assistant and are new to the sector, or if you are currently working in an associated role, that provides assistance to qualified professionals. Animal Care and Welfare Assistants look after the routine day-to-day husbandry and care of domestic and/or wild animals while under guidance and in a variety of different settings. The work is carried out individually or as part of a team, in places such as kennels and catteries, laboratories, animal welfare centres, farm parks, rehabilitation centres, retail outlets and in the transportation of animals. Animal Care and Welfare Assistants must have a strong work ethic and be prepared to work irregular hours and in all weather conditions.

The Reedley College (RC) AgTEC Innovation Center will house Agriculture Technology startups providing students throughout the region with critical hands on work experience through internships, job-shadows, and part-time employment. The Center provides opportunity for startups to develop relationships and network with local agriculture leaders driving innovations for agriculture, manufacturing, industrial maintenance, and logistics.

UTP Stage II: Agricultural and Food Sciences is equivalent to the first year of a bachelor’s degree from the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences.

Designing and managing farm dairy effluent (FDE) systems is crucial for sustainable dairy farming, as it helps prevent water pollution, soil degradation, and compliance issues. Here's a comprehensive guide to FDE system design and management: Effluent Management Plan: Develop a comprehensive effluent management plan that outlines goals, responsibilities, and strategies for effluent handling, storage, and application. Consider factors such as farm size, stocking rates, soil types, and topography when designing the effluent system.

Animal sciences offers a sound education in science and prepares students for scientific careers in animal agriculture. Biotechnological industries seek animal science graduates, frequently offering unprecedented opportunities. In addition, students are prepared for graduate study in specialized fields of animal genetics, nutrition, physiology, food science, or management.

Sustainable Horticulture/Permaculture is a science-based course offering a practical and wide-ranging learning experience in a unique and thriving college community. Kinsale has a strong tradition of food and farming, as well as providing a near-idyllic environment for exploring ecology and the natural environment. The course is a mixture of classroom-based talks, practical activities, site visits, master classes from a range of visiting specialists and group project work.

This is a practical, work-related City & Guilds Level 3 Advanced Technical Diploma in Floristry course. It is designed to develop the skills of those working in the floristry industry, who have achieved a Level 2 Diploma in Floristry or equivalent, or who have extensive industry experience. Students attend the college three days per week.

Awareness of Integrated Weed Management is crucial in today's agricultural landscape, where the sustainability and effectiveness of traditional pesticide-based approaches are increasingly scrutinized. Our dedicated training program emphasizes the importance of adopting an integrated approach to weed management that combines chemical and non-chemical methods. With growing concerns over the use of pesticides and their impact on the environment and human health, there is a pressing need to explore alternative strategies. By integrating both chemical and non-chemical methods, farmers and land managers can effectively control weeds while minimizing reliance on potentially harmful chemicals.

Discover ecology and learn how we can protect wildlife to conserve our natural world.

The programme will be of interest to students who enjoy the biological sciences and have an interest in pursuing a career in the animal management industry. There is a broad diversity in the career opportunities available that relate to animal behaviour and welfare and these can often involve roles that offer both practical and theoretical elements. The varied styles of teaching delivery within the programme are therefore ideal for creating graduates that can make the most of these career opportunities. Students will develop a range of practical biological science and practical animal skills in the first year whilst studying specific animal behaviour and welfare course materials. This establishment of fundamental skills is then developed further as students progress into year two and if they wish to proceed to a full Honours degree, into year three, where subjects taught cover a diverse range of relevant areas such as Behavioural Ecology and Psychopharmacology and Neuroscience. Assessments include coursework, individual and group oral and PowerPoint presentations, mixed media formats, research reports, case studies and assignments, and closed and open book examination.

The FdSc Animal Science with Management programme will develop your practical skills and knowledge required to be successful in a range of animal management industries. Areas relating to management of animals, ecology, conservation, behaviour and training of animals will be covered as part of the FdSc in Animal Science with Management. There is an emphasis on developing a range of skills required in employment. This programme offers students the opportunity to study a range of animals, including livestock, equine, captive animals and domestic pets.
