New Agents Should Complete On-Line Modules Before Attending Extension Foundations
Texas AgriLife Extension Service has launched a new strategy for on- boarding recently hired County Extension Agents. One of the critical elements of this new on- boarding system is a series of new online learning modules designed to establish a knowledge base prior to them attending Extension Foundations.
Those agents that will be participating in Extension Foundations on April 19-23, should have completed the following training modules prior to their attendance:
- Texas AgriLife Extension: Our History and Roots
- Professionalism in Texas AgriLife Extension Service
- Introduction to Program Development in Texas Extension
- TExAS Accountability System
- INVEST: Volunteerism
- Cash Management
These modules are critical in establishing a foundation for future sequential learning experiences that will be offered to new agents through Texas AgriLife Extension Service newly established on- boarding system.
