Career Development Events
Career Development Events (CDE's) build on what is learned in agricultural classes and encourage members to put their knowledge into practice. These events are designed to help a member prepare for a career in agriculture by testing and challenging the student's technical, leadership, interpersonal and teamwork skills as well as their knowledge of the subject matter. These happen in the Spring.
CDE's answer the question, "When will I use this knowledge in the real world?"
Many CDEs are qualifying events for the National FFA CDE competition and/or offer scholarship opportunities.
