FFA Career Development Links Page

In many ways, FFA is all about preparing you for a successful future. One way in which this is accomplished is through Career Development Events, or CDEs. FFA has a wide array of these contests for students to choose from. If students do well enough as a part of a team or as an individual in their CDE, they qualify to move on to the state-level competitions from the regional events. Then, the best of the best from the Minnesota State FFA Convention in the spring get to go on and represent the state at the National FFA Convention in their CDE area.

So, where does one learn about CDE options and how to study up on the info needed to be successful? The following links will take you where you want to go:

The Minnesota CDE Handbook features general information on the CDEs offered to students. If you want to know what's out there and what is included in each contest, choose this link: http://pubstorage.sdstate.edu/AgBio_Publications/articles/EC929.pdf

As time goes on, more resources will be made available. Please visit regularly.
