FFA Members Participate in Job Interview Contest
On Thursday, November 10, 2022, Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) FFA members participated in the District 5 Job Interview competition at National Trail High School. The contest is designed to assist FFA members in developing oral skills with the job application and interview process. Students had to create a resume and cover letter, fill out a job application about a specific agricultural job, complete an interview, and write a follow-up thank you letter to send in a timed session.

Adi Schmitz (Mississinawa Valley) and Ashlynn Cummins (Valley View) from Ag and Livestock Production. Dylan Gooch (Vandalia-Butler), Griffen Jung (Miamisburg), and Marianna Rinehart (Huber Heights) from Natural Resource Management. As well as Josh Smith (Northmont) from Retail Ag Services.

The letters “FFA” originally stood for Future Farmers of America. These letters are a part of our history and heritage that will never change. But FFA is not just for students who want to be production farmers; FFA also welcomes members who aspire to careers as teachers, doctors, scientists, business owners, and more. For this reason, the name of the organization was updated in 1988 after a vote of national convention delegates to reflect the growing diversity and new opportunities in the industry of agriculture.
Today, the National FFA Organization remains committed to the individual student, providing a path to achievement in premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.
FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in various agricultural career pathways. So today, we are still the Future Farmers of America. But we are Future Biologists, Chemists, Veterinarians, Engineers, and Future Entrepreneurs of America too.
