What year was the National FFA Career Show started?

The National FFA Career Show was initiated in 1966 as a part of the National FFA Convention. This event was designed to provide FFA members with opportunities to explore career options in agriculture, learn from industry professionals, and connect with potential employers. The establishment of the Career Show marks a significant development in the FFA's commitment to preparing members for successful careers in the agricultural sector. By engaging students with hands-on experiences and direct interaction with businesses, the Career Show has become a staple of the FFA Convention, helping to guide future career paths and strengthen the connection between education and the workforce in agriculture.
