SHSM - Agriculture

What is the SHSM Agriculture Programme?

The SHSM-Agriculture enables students to build a foundation of sector-focused knowledge and skills before graduating and entering a postsecondary destination, whether it be apprenticeship training, college, university, or an entry level position in the workplace. Depending on local circumstances, the SHSM-Agriculture may be designed to have a particular focus- for example, on agricultural equipment or animal and crop science.
