Students in agriculture-related programs at Northcentral Technical College (NTC) are gaining national recognition through their involvement in Professional Agricultural Students (PAS). This dynamic student organization supports the development of future agricultural professionals by offering opportunities to grow their skills, gain hands-on experience and build connections within the industry.
Open to all NTC students in agriculture-related programs, PAS provides opportunities to participate in employment experience programs, hands-on skill development and organizational activities. This year, nearly 20 NTC students took their talents to the national stage, competing at the PAS National Conference in Sheridan, Wyoming. After earning top placements at the state level, these students showcased their skills among the best in the country—bringing home impressive results and representing NTC with pride.
Their achievements at Nationals highlight not only their individual dedication and talent but also NTC’s commitment to preparing the next generation of agricultural leaders for the workforce.
