Expanding Career Opportunities for All: Shapiro Administration Brings Students to Farm City Day at Variety for Accessible Agriculture Career Exploration and Training
The Shapiro Administration is committed to creating meaningful career opportunities for all Pennsylvanians, and investing in the skilled, innovative workforce ag employers need to keep Pennsylvania a national leader in the future.
The Shapiro Administration has invested $62,320 into Variety's mission to expose students of all abilities to agriculture - funding the creation and expansion of gardens with raised beds, horizontal trellises, wide pathways, lowered potting benches and sink, and other features that make hands-on learning about sustainable agriculture readily accessible to wheelchair- and walker-users.
Pennsylvania leads the nation in the percentage of farmers under 35 - and under Governor Shapiro's leadership, the Commonwealth has created more apprenticeship opportunities and training programs to train young Pennsylvanians who want to work in agriculture.
