Agriculture teachers are needed in Pennsylvania, throughout the nation, and in most foreign countries. Agricultural and extension education graduates are certified to teach agriculture in public high school programs for youth and adults and in area vocational-technical schools. Graduates may also qualify to teach environmental education and general science.

Agriculture teachers are needed for specialized programs in horticulture, agricultural resources, forestry, and agricultural mechanics as well as traditional agricultural production programs. Occupational education in agricultural products and agricultural supplies is developing and creating a demand for teachers.

Many graduates find employment with Cooperative Extension, trade organizations, and governmental agencies. Agribusiness firms employ graduates in managerial, sales, and public relations. Agricultural and extension education opportunities also exist in developing countries.

After advanced study, graduates may find positions as agriculture teachers in community colleges and in universities.
