Non Technical Summary
This opportunity will be open to Florida high-school aged youth. Youth will enroll and participate in bi-monthly virtual 4-H club meetings where they will learn a variety of skills including technical skills in agriculture as well as communications skills, time mangement, interview/resume skills, and other soft skills to prepare them for pastting AEST certification tests and to prepare them for future employment. Participants will also engage in virtual farm field trips and other virtual field days to expose them to on-farm experiences and skills necessary to work in real-world agriculture. In-person summer programs on campus at the University of Florida and Florida A & M University will emphasize hands-on learning in a variety of agricultural and technological contexts. It is hoped that after youth participate in the virtual 4-H club, field days/field trips, and on-campus educational experiences, and pass their AEST certifications, they will be prime candidates for well-paying jobs in Florida agriculture.

Increase understanding of the breadth of technology career pathways in agriculture.
Project Methods
This programwill develop virtual 4-H clubs designed to prepare high school youth directly for introductory and specialized certification in agricultural technology. Beyond the funding period, the team will share findings through scholarship both across Florida and the National 4-H program. Additionally, the team will offer professional development for county agents, including processes used, in order to integrate the virtual club model into existing 4-H agent responsibilities to sustain the program. Funds for on-campus activities and travel will be funded by fees from students who can afford them with supplemental scholarships supported by industry partners and other stakeholders. We also envision incorporating the adapted curricula into existing traditional 4-H clubs with more local rather than statewide focus to enhance all club efforts.WFR will be a one- to two-year 4-H virtual club for high school age youth with limited access to traditional in-person extracurricular activities and/or ultimately those with specialized interest not served by traditional 4-H clubs. We will start with widespread recruitment leveraging networks of teachers, guidance counselors, and other educators to reach a geographically dispersed audience as well as conduct initial assessment of the size of the need. We will host virtual "open houses" for stakeholders and potential youth and families to attend and hear more about the virtual 4-H club and certifications.WFRprogramming will begin in summer with an on-campus (alternating UF and FAMU each year) kick-off event that showcases the "spark" of technology in agriculture. We will invite families, including parents, guardians, and other influential adults in youth's lives to attend virtually for some parts of the event to understand what the youth will be doing over the year and ask questions. Other kickoff activities will involve introducing the youth to each other and beginning to build relationships among themselves and with program and other UF and FAMU faculty to promote positive peer and adult relationships. Finally, youth will participate in initial hands-on activities related to agricultural technology including short laboratory experiences or introductions to physical agricultural tools and technologies such as drones.Bi-monthly virtual club meetings will begin in September and run through May. In the first year,clubs will focus on AEST "Associate in" certifications, which serve as an introductory, broad-based curriculum in agricultural science and technology. Throughout the year, participants will participate in largely proven 4-H club models, meeting synchronously online and using proven 4-H hands-on activities adapted for the virtual setting, but also studying AESTcertification materials asynchronously outside of the virtual meetings. Meetings will also incorporate discussions about the learning material. Meetings will also involve planning for the virtual field trips, at least one virtual field trip per semester per club. Students will take certification exams in May or June.At the end of the club year, participants will convene at UF or FAMU campus (alternating locations each year) for a week-long residential experience. On-campus costs including housing, meals, and travel will be paid through the FANE funding. On campus, students will learnhands-on skills related to the agricultural technology they studied in the club for certification. The residential experience will conclude with a graduation, to which families, influential adults, and industry stakeholders will be invited, with virtual participation as an option. Graduationwillrecognize youth who participated all year, successfully obtained certification, and involve a sort of "signing day" for the next year. "Signing day" will be integrated with kickoff for the general-focus club and will feature a ceremonial event where youth who will return for the second year specialty clubs declare the specialty they will pursue in the second year for the next certification, similar to high school athletes who declare the university they will attend. The integrated signing/kickoff event will help build the overall cohort and inspire the incoming youth by seeing what awaits them while recognizing the achievement of the youth who started theprevious year.WRF will be sustainable beyond the grant funding period. 4-H is a permanent program for Florida as well as throughout the U.S. With FANE funding, we will adapt existing curriculum for a virtual 4-H model, while integrating public outreach in the form of virtual field trips. We will work with UF's Center for Online Learning Technology, Center for Teaching Excellence, and Center for Online Innovation and Production, to create reusable online objects for youth, 4-H agents, and volunteers and provide products that can be shared with other 4-H programs outside the state.Streaming Science is already part of Loizzo's teaching assignment and embedded in her coursework as an assistant professor, and she creates and shares new ones regularly; archived versions are available to educators on request. Part of WRF development will involve building relationships with schools, public libraries, other community gathering and meeting spaces, and even businesses such as restaurants, to create durable internet access points for youth to participate using their infrastructure. All of these activities will contribute to the sustainability and replicability of WFR.

Outputs
Target Audience:The target audience for this effort is Florida high-school aged youth. In particular, sophomores and juniors in high school who might not readily have access to in-person 4-H or FFA opportuniites, either because of lack of access in their local community or other circumstances that prevent these individuals from participation in traditonal in-person clubs. Changes/Problems:In 'virtual' education it seems to take away several barriers to reaching new youth audiences conveniently. It also is sometimes easy to 'forget' to log in to live meetings regardless of how many reminders are sent to participants, or to have connectivity issues that make this sort of programming a challenge. One way we have combatted this is to record our meetings and house those recordings in a Google site for the club. We also had visions of entire cohorts of youth joining at one time, learning together, and testing at one time, all as a cohort. Our participants seem to all lead very busy lives which means we have had to tweak this cohort idea and meet young people where they are at in terms of start dates and certification testing dates. Our friends at AEST have been very kind to schedule individual exams for our participants when they are ready to test. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?In 2024 we conducted two inservice trainings for 4-H Extension Agents in Florida. We also did an abstract an our annual UF/IFAS Extension Professional Association of Florida meeting. I also was selected to present an educational session about Work Ready Florida at the Southern Regional 4-H Biennial Conference in Lafayette, Louisiana, and at he National Accosiation of Extension 4-H Youth Development Professionals meeting in Boise, Idaho. I was also invited to present one slide on Work Ready Florida at a national 4-H Beyond Ready workforce development training. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?We have shared results of Work Ready Florida with Florida Farm Bureau stakeholders, UF faculty, and 4-H colleagues from the Southern region and nationally, and Florida legislators. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We plan to capitalize on momentum and success to continue to offer this program to even more Florida youth. We need to begin honing in on long-term financial support to ensure that this program can continue beyond the funding period as it has been and can still continue to make a positive impact on the lives of participants.It would be interesting to explore expanding this program to other states as well.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? 1. Develop the following targeted workforce skills: critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, communication skills, analytical skills; Both ripple mapping exercises and parental surveys provide data that our youth are gaining critical thinking skills, communication skills, analytical skills and learning teamwork through participating in the various aspects of Work Ready Florida. Case studies, job interview trainings and skits, preparing 'elevator speeches', and even creating and hosting educational booths and advertisements for the program have helped our participants advance these skills. 2. Develop industry-specific and subject-matter specific technical workforce skills aligned with and leading to AEST certification; We have worked to prepare youth for Florida Farm Bureau's Agricultural Education Services and Technology (AEST) Certifications. We have had 31 people so far this year earn their AEST Agricultural Systems Certification. We have also had an additional two participants earn the Animal Science Specialist Certification in the past year. This certification program was started several years ago by Florida Farm Bureau and was originally recognized only in Florida, but now a few other states have adopted these certifications and are now recognizing these certifications. We prepare our participating youth for these exams through bi-monthly Zoom meetings and supplementary educational opportunities like our Electronic Field Trips and in-person field days and workshops. In addition to preparing participants for AEST certifications, we help these young people develop general employability skills and soft skills. In some of our Zoom meetings, and during some in-person educational events, we have provided participating youth with resume' building workshops, mock job interview exercises, leadership and personality assessments, and worked with participants on dressing for interviews, proper introductions, 'elevator speeches' on agriculture and other topics, and other employability and soft skills to help make them attractive candidates for employment. Some from our first cohort who have graduated have already found successful employment. For example, one young man named Anthony is working at a community vegetable operation in south Florida. He earned his Agricultural Systems Certification and went through a number of our 'soft skills' and employability workshops. He is growing vegetables, giving community tours, teaching workshops, and making and serving smoothies at the farm's smoothie bar. Anthony is still in high school, but instead of working a minimum wage job, he is earning a significantly higher rate of pay in the agricultural sector. He credited Work Ready Florida for preparing him. He wrote us, "I have an update for my resume/job! They said that they loved the resume and requested an interview with me. So now I am currently waiting for October 1st for that so it can be official! I just wanted to thank you both again for what y'all do for us in work ready and I hope you guys continue to give other kids like me opportunities to make the best better." Anthony isn't our only success story. Kylie graduated this past year after one year in our program. Since she was a high school senior, we helped her get both her Agricultural Systems Certification and her Animal Science Specialist Certification through AEST. After graduation, she was hired as an assistant with a local large animal veterinary practice in her community. Because of her AEST certifications she earned through Work Ready Florida, she was hired making $2.00 an hour more than other people hired in the same job at the same time and has since already earned raises. She credits the Work Ready Florida program for this. In fact she told this story to the State of Florida Senate Agriculture Subcommittee Meeting, and her comments are available here starting at about the 8:00 minute mark here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1405550817030588 3. Develop an awareness and understanding of the career pathways and requirements necessary to enter the workforce in agricultural industries; and In our bi-monthly meetings, we discuss various agricultural sectors. In early meetings we start with soil science, then move on to plant science, then horticulture, forestry, geomatics, fruit crops, agronomy, and then into animal science, dairy science, and poultry science. We highlight jobs available in all those areas in each meeting, and often have guest speakers from those industries talk to youth about available jobs in those areas as well as requirements for those types of jobs. Some of these careers are professional and require advanced degrees; some are hands-on and require certifications or apprenticeships. We have youth in Work Ready Florida interested in both blue-collar and white-collar careers agriculture and related fields. 4. Develop relationships with stakeholders involved in the agricultural industry. We have had several guest speakers from various agricultural sectors speak to our Work Ready Florida youth during our meetings. We have also hosted several more in some of our in-person workshops and field days. Also, several of our youth have been invited to the last two Florida Farm Bureau annual meetings, in Orlando in 2023 and in Panama City Beach in 2024. Our youth hosted Work Ready Florida booths (with appropriate USDA/NIFA signage) to promote the Work Ready Florida program at the annual trade show. Our state's ag industry leaders have shown tremendous support and appear to be thoroughly impressed with our Work Ready Florida youth and the program as a whole. 5. Increase awareness of and confidence in agricultural technology; and We emphasize innovation and new and emerging technologies in our regular club meetings, our electronic field trips, and our in-person workshops and field days. Our youth are now aware of things like robot milkers on dairy farms, drone utilization to scout and treat disease and pest pressure in farm fields, and micro-tractors UF has developed to 3D map crops like peppers and tomatoes to utilize AI to predict future disease loads and preemptively treat targeted areas in fields. 6. Increase understanding of the breadth of technology career pathways in agriculture. We have had university faculty, community college faculty (from institutions that offer associate degrees in agriculture as well as other certifications), and industry professionals address our participants about the current career pathways as well as quickly emerging technologies and related jobs in Florida and United States agriculture.

Outputs
Target Audience:The target audience for this effort is Florida high-school aged youth. In particular, sophomores and juniors in high school who might not readily have access to in-person 4-H or FFA opportuniites, either because of lack of access in their local community or other circumstances that prevent these individuals from participation in traditonal in-person clubs. Changes/Problems:We are a little more flexible on starting and stop dates. What I mean by this is we had originally envisiond a cohort of teens all joining at the same time and all getting certified at relatively the same time. What we are finding is the teens for a variety of reasons want to join througout the year and also prefere to take their certification tests at various times convenient to them. Originally we had envisioned all of cohort one testing in June. When summer did hit and youths were out of school, they seemingly scattered in a hundred different directions and we are still scheduling certification exams with some of the stragglers. We are this year a little more flexibile and understanging that teenagers will join when we can (in fact we are still recruiting new teens) and are tayloring the exam prep more on a case-by-case basis rather than a cohort basis. We want youths to feel comfortable joining us any time ane we can try to catch them up to the rest of the cohort. We now record our Zooms and have a website to house these recorded meetings for this purpose. Also even though we had 73 enrolled for year one because of people's schedules we averaged 40-50 actually on each meeting. We recorded Zooms so these youths could watch at their convenience, although as their club leader I prefer they are live if possible so they can engage and ask questions. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?We hosted two in-service trainings for Florida 4-H agents and are planning a third for January 2024. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?We have used in-person displays, emails to Florida science teachers, Florida school guidance counselors, and an ad campaign (designed by our youth Community Advisory Board members) on Audio-Go that had a reach of over 20,000 unique users. For our new 4-H year we are now at 100 youth enrolled and still enrolling new teens. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We plan to continue to have our first cohort finish their Ag Systems Certification exams and choose a specialty to work toward. When enough youth (at least five) choose a specific certification, new clubs will spin off to focus on that particuar certification. We also hope to continue to add new teens to our program.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? In year one we recruited 73 teen members for the Work Ready Florida 4-H Club. We kicked off with an in-person educational track at Florida 4-H University in late July 2022. We then began twice-monthly meetings on Zoom. We began with soil science and worked through plant science, animal science and then various industries represented in Florida (including forestry, poultry, cattle, fruit crops, etc.). Each meeting we would also focus on specific careers in whichever field we were highlighting that particular meeting. Here are some accomplishments associated with each goal: 1.Develop the following targeted workforce skills: critical thinking, problem solving,teamwork, communication skills, analytical skills. Youth participants indicated in evaluations that they increased their communication skills, critical thinking skills, and analyical skills. 2.Develop industry-specific and subject-matter specific technical workforce skills alignedwith and leading to AEST certification. We had guests from industry join our zooms to talk about careers in that field and requirements for those careers. We also prepared youth to pass the Ag Systems Certification from Florida Farm Bureau's AEST program. Several from our first cohort have now tested and earned their Ag Systems Certification and are now working toward their first specialty certification. 3.Develop an awareness and understanding of the career pathways and requirementsnecessary to enter the workforce in agricultural industries. Again, indusrty professionals, university specialists, and other adults have worked with participating youth to understand career opportunties in various aspects of Florida and United States agriculture, along with requirements to land a particular career. 4.Develop relationships with stakeholders involved in the agricultural industry. We have been very pleased with industry professional's willingness to engage with youth and serve as guest speakers in our club meetings. We were thrilled to be invited to participate in Florida Farm Bureau's annual conference in Orlando. Ten of our Work Ready Florida Youth (our Community Advisory Board Members) were invited to attend the conference (target audience is adult farm bureau members mostly from Florida's ag industry). We hosted a booth on Work Ready Florida and conference attendees were extremely excited to learn about this program and to engage with youth. Several youth got to talk to potential future employers and loved the engagement with leaders in Florida's agriculture industry. 5.Increase awareness of and confidence in agricultural technology. Each meeting we learn just how complex and tech heavy modern American agriculture is and our youth are excited about learning new technologies in ag. Here are a few specific examples. We hosted an 'Ag Career Tour of Hillsborough County'. Hillsborough County is half urban (with the city of Tampa and surrounding areas) and half rufral (the Plant City area is the winter strawberry capital of the world for instance). It is also in central Florida so easy for most of our youth to get to for a tour. We toured four locations and one was the UF/IFAS Gulf Coast Research and Education Center. Youths learned about utilizing drones and AI to scout strawberry and tomato fields for disease and pest pressure. In our electronic field trips youths learned about hydroponics and aquaponic operations, peanut production and how peanut producers pod blast peanuts to determine maturity in their crop. 6.Increase understanding of the breadth of technology career pathways in agriculture. I think our in-person educational experiences, our bi-monthly Zoom based 4-H club meetings, our career tours, and electronic field trips have exposed our youth to a tremendous amount of breadth of the technology and career pathways in modern agriculture.

Progress 01/01/22 to 12/31/22

Outputs
Target Audience:Our team marketed this Work Ready Florida opportunity to high school aged youths throughout Florida. We also formed a Community Advisory Board of 8 youths to help us in recruiting youth. We want ALL Florida teenagers to feel welcome to participate in this opportunity and to feel a sense of belonging once enrolled and participating. So in short the target audience was Florida teenagers, both to recruit the Community Advisory Board, and later to recruit members for the Work Ready Florida program. Changes/Problems:The major change was the addition of a home gardening aspect to this to supplement learning. This was added due to youth participants expressing a desire to grow vegetables at home upon learning basics of soil science and horticulture. Once challenge or problem has been consistency in attendance for virtual meetings (or at least live attendance as meetings are recorded and can be watched later). We have 63 youth enrolled in the club but have some who aren't regularly attending meetings. This is fine as long as they watch the Zoom recordings, but live interaction is preferred. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?We began 4-H club meetings learning about soil science and plant science. Several youth asked about growing a home vegetable garden, and several other youth in the club indicated this would be something they would like to do. We put together home garden kits for interested youth (35) that included 15 different kinds of vegetable seeds, a garden manual that included a plan, and a garden record book. In addition we offered to test the soil for their potential garden sites at home. We have used this as a hands-on project to supplement the virtual learning. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?We have shared this with some of the members' science teachers and also their parents. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We will continue bi-monthly club meetings and are planning an Electronic Field Trip to Florida A & M Unviersity to learn about their educaitonal programs as well as aquaculture.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? So far we have recruited an 8-member Community Advisory Board of teenagers to help us steer the program including recruitment efforts for youth participants. This group met six times and helped develop a kick-off event in the summer of 2022 (July) on campus at the University of Florida. We had 29 youth attend this kickoff event. We began our club meetings September 2022. We meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays on Zoom at 6pm Eastern. So far we have 63 youth enrolled in the Work Ready Florida 4-H Club, and have had six club meetings. In addition, about 35 youth have expressed the desire to grow a home vegetable garden as a hands-on project to supplment virtual club meetings. We developed a garden manual and record book to supplement these projects. Also we have offered two Electronic Field Trips where youth participants learned about soil science, peanut production, and hydroponics. We are on track to meet our goals and objectives for this project.
