Abstract | High school graduates must be College and Career Ready to be successful in their future academic and employment pursuits. Employability skills such as communication, leadership, and critical thinking are in high demand from colleges and employers. High school academic success is an indicator the person has the skills and background necessary for success in further education. We conducted a descriptive study of 2018-2019 high school senior members of the National FFA Organization to provide an updated and focused look into its student membership. The goal was to assess the level of employability skills and academic success retained through high school considering the skills desired by 21st Century employers. Exploring, defining, and understanding the current National FFA student membership's achievements and interests in career pathways is important to ensure the optimal educational experience for today's youth. The study occurred in fall 2018 with 2,087 respondents completing the online survey. Respondents reported self-perceived high employability skill levels and above average academic success. This could imply study respondents are College and Career Ready. (As Provided). |
