Programs in Agriculture (Natural) Resources designed to provide vocational education for the total agribusiness and natural resource industry are being implemented through agricultural education curricula in a number of southeastern states. Vocational training programs for occupations related to fish and wildlife management exist in 8 states and will likely spread to others. These programs, if planned and implemented properly, can benefit the fish and wildlife resource. Those in the wildlife profession must be aware of developments in their state and provide leadership and expertise for directing programs toward the fulfillment of valid goals and objectives. Members in the profession cannot afford to ignore educational programs disseminating information on the fish and wildlife resources, especially those which are designed to provide vocational education.
