AgCareers.com announces the new 2021-2022 season of Feed Your Future virtual career fairs across the United States. 
 
AgCareers.com developed this Feed Your Future initiative last year to virtually connect agri-food employers and job seekers, addressing travel constraints on traditional in-person recruitment events. Careers in agriculture and food remain essential, and virtual recruiting is here to stay.

Organizations need qualified talent to fill workforce gaps in agriculture and food. Whether candidates are ready to explore a new career or even a new industry, there’s a place for them to make a difference in the agriculture and food industry. There are abundant opportunities in production, logistics, finance, processing, technology, packaging, and much more. Careers are available on the farm, in the field, plant, lab and office. 

Virtual Career Fairs
Feed Your Future virtual career fairs will highlight and connect job seekers and employers with career opportunities throughout the food chain. U.S. region-specific career fairs start on Oct. 14. There will also be fairs for skilled trades, college students, and FFA members. Registration and details for each fair are available here: https://www.agcareers.com/feed-your-future.cfm.
