To be eligible for the program, a student must be enrolled in a career-technical agricultural program and complete four required courses, where they are engaged in learning and applying technical skills in foundational agricultural concepts.
“Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE) – a student project that involves real world agricultural activities done by students outside of the planned classroom and laboratory time – are also integral in attaining the OABA credential. A student’s SAE must be an entrepreneurial, placement or research-driven project pertaining to the agriculture industry with at least 500 hours of documented project work.“
