The National FFA Organization describes the Proficiency Career
Development Event as an “Agricultural Proficiency Award that honors FFA members
who, through their supervised agricultural experiences (SAE’s), have developed
specialized skills that they can apply toward their future careers. Students can
compete for awards in almost 50 areas covering everything from agricultural
communications to wildlife management. There are three main types of proficiency
awards, those include Placement (employment, apprenticeships, or internships at
an agriculture-related organization), Entrepreneurship (ownership of an
agriculture related enterprise), and Research (planning and conducting an
agriculturally based scientific experiment)
