GLASE to cultivate youth interest in AgTech and CEA

The GLASE consortium is thrilled to announce the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) is investing in a GLASE workforce development initiative.

The Empowering Greenhouse Resiliency with an Optimized Workforce (E-GROW) project is designed to inspire and develop youth competency in agricultural technology (AgTech) and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). In partnership with seven project collaborators and ten middle and high schools across four U.S. states, E-GROW will launch a certificate program, preparing the next generation for careers in the rapidly evolving field of CEA.
