Placement/Internship SAE

Placement SAEs require time invested in a job-like learning experience. Your project centers on the goal of becoming a successful and valuable employee. During this experience, you will be developing your agriculture, food, natural resource and employability skills and abilities outside the classroom.

Your experience will be defined through an SAE agreement that your agricultural education instructor and employer will help you create. The SAE agreement lays out the details of your job and includes considerations to make sure you are safe and able to learn on the job. During the experience, you will keep track of the hours you work, income received (a placement SAE can be paid or unpaid), tasks you complete and the knowledge and skills you attained. Your teacher will conduct regular check-ins with you and your employer to make sure the experience is a success.
