FFA members know that the best way to learn is to do. The Ohio FFA Works program was created for FFA members who prefer to continue to learn by doing after graduation.

Inspired by the RISE FFA Career Program developed in coordination with Sunrise Cooperative, the Ohio FFA Foundation has partnered with various companies to offer even more agricultural employment opportunities to current, dues-paying FFA members.

Graduating seniors and recent graduates looking to earn a competitive wage close to home, learn in a hands-on environment, and jump-start their careers should apply for these full-time positions. Current dues-paying Ohio FFA members will be able to apply to multiple outstanding employment opportunities through one application.
