Career Development Events (CDEs) provide members with competitive opportunities to apply their classroom knowledge in real-world settings. They help students explore agriculture careers, enhance critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills, and prepare them for success in college and the workforce.
Leadership Development Events (LDEs) enhance public speaking, decision-making, and leadership skills through competitive activities. By reciting the FFA Creed, presenting speeches, or demonstrating parliamentary procedure, LDEs empower students to be confident leaders in agriculture and beyond.
