For Employers
Looking to hire recent high school graduates for full-time employment? Ohio FFA Works is the hiring solution you’ve been looking for. Several Ohio FFA members are looking to enter the workforce immediately following graduation. As an Ohio FFA Works partner, we’ll connect these talented candidates directly to you.
Enrollment
Ohio FFA members are developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education – and many of these students are looking to get to work right after high school! Through one application, FFA members can apply to multiple agricultural employment opportunities. Companies then receive candidate information that best fit their needs. From there, in the spring, companies will have the freedom to interview and hire as they see fit.
