Providing Recruitment Resources for Women Agriculture Mechanics Classes for Agriculture Teachers in Mississippi

Abstract

<p>The need for welders is growing. The welding industry is not limited to just males anymore. Some female students were unable to be enrolled in agriculture mechanics courses during high school and college. The purpose of this creative component is to provide recruitment resources to agriculture mechanics teachers for a women welding program. If females learn the welding skills that they need, they will be able to apply these in many places throughout their life. Multiple resources are included in this project that agriculture teachers can use to both recruit participants and plan an adult female welding program for their community. These resources include a brochure, presentations, flyers, and a questionnaire.</p>
