Unlocking Potential:
Empowering Every Student in Work-Based Learning Through SAE for All
What Is SAE for All?
SAE for All was created to provide every student in agricultural education programs with access to invaluable work-based learning opportunities. This innovative delivery method ensures that no student is left behind in gaining practical, hands-on experience. Students can choose between two distinctive types of SAEs tailored to their interests and career goals: Foundational SAEs, which build essential skills and knowledge, and Immersion SAEs, which dive deeper into specialized, real-world agricultural experiences.
Foundational SAEs
A Foundational SAE is an inspiring cornerstone for every student in the agricultural education program. This immersive experience is thoughtfully designed to incorporate five essential components, each of which plays a critical role in shaping future agricultural leaders:
- Career exploration and planning
- Personal financial management and planning
- Workplace safety
- Employability skills for college and career readiness
- Agricultural literacy and exploration
The Foundational SAE is a continuous journey that spans a student’s entire enrollment in agricultural education, seamlessly integrating with the immersive experiences they will undertake.
This addition will not only deepen their expertise in Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources technical knowledge but also hone essential career readiness skills.
Immersion SAEs
Immersion SAEs are designed to build upon the foundational SAE experiences through real-world applications through:
- Placement/Internship SAE
- Ownership/Entrepreneurship SAE
- Research: Experimental, Analysis or Invention SAE
- School-Based Enterprise SAE
- Service-Learning SAE
By participating in Immersion SAEs, students can significantly enhance their preparation for a successful career.
