Work Force 2000: Is Extension Agriculture Ready?

Volume

Abstract

Extension will be ready for the 21st century workforce when cultural diversity is viewed as essential to ensuring an adequate human resource base. Reaching that state of readiness requires a human resource management system that can identify, recruit, hire, and support competent and diverse staff. Policies must be set to restructure staffing patterns, enhance salaries and benefits, increase training and technical support, and implement a more family-oriented work place. Without such efforts, Extension will be unable to maintain its competitive position in delivering research-based agricultural and natural resources knowledge and practices.
