Program Outcomes
Occupational Skills Award
Description
The General Horticulture Occupational Skills Award primarily focuses on critical skillsets for caring for plants with sustainability in mind, such as staying away from relying on chemical applications like pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. The skills award encourages students to learn and apply sustainable plant caring methods, such as Integrated Pest Management (IPM), composting, native plants, drip irrigations, etc. This approach will have a positive impact on the larger scale of environmental issues, including water conservation, chemical free, and, less waste. Upon completion of the General Horticulture Occupational Skills award, students will be prepared for work as urban farming growing and support, nursery sales and support, native plants consulting and support, as well as organic pest management sales and support.
