Co-Alliance understands that high school students in our trade territory are a tremendous asset as they emerge as the future generation of leaders within the workplace. With a large number of our workforce retiring in the next 5 years and many similar stories echoing throughout the agriculture industry, the career options that students interested in ag or energy will encounter are tremendous.

We recently welcomed high school students to our local ag centers as we help them discover the many career options at the cooperative, including roles in agronomy, custom application, office administration, fuel and propane technicians and drivers, precision technology, grain marketing and much more.

Whether today’s students are focused on heading to college or joining the work force following high school, our employees are excited to share their similar stories and experiences that have brought them to where they are today.

Students in attendance got to tour our facilities and encounter several stations along the way, which provided interactive experiences for students. All segments of our cooperative business were represented during these career day events.

As your local cooperative, we appreciate any opportunity to encourage youth participation and education within agriculture and energy. We truly appreciate the schools and teachers who participated in these career days, which provides an enhanced view of local careers post-graduation while simultaneously raising awareness on some options for scholarships, internships and learning tools in the interim.

Today on the blog we invite you to take a look at these career day events in action:

We’re proud to have so many local career opportunities within one company which can satisfy the curious minds and busy hands of many in rural America.
