Career & Technical Education Pathway

Zoological Horticulture Certificate [ClSl00HH]

From developing sustainable supply-chain solutions to modernizing farming practices and techniques, agribusiness technology offers many opportunities in a rapidly growing and vitally important field. In our Agribusiness Technology program, you’ll develop the entrepreneurial and technical skills to manage a profitable, environmentally sound, community-based small farm or agricultural business in classes that focus on science and technology.

After you’ve finished, you’ll be prepared to pursue jobs in equipment, feed, and agricultural supply sales; store management; farm operations; wholesale and retail produce management; nursery operations; and environmental and agricultural education. And if working at a zoo is something that interests you, our special Zoological Horticulture Certificate program partners with the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro to give you hands-on experience designing and caring for the plant environments at zoos and within animal habitats.
