About The Position

WIL is seeking a Program Manager for agricultural education to lead training and career-pathway programs in agriculture and food systems with colleges, extension, and employers. The role focuses on designing education and workforce training activities, developing experiential learning and career pathways, building partnerships, recruiting learners, and tracking outcomes.

This is a contingent proposal opportunity in WIL's expert collaborator network, not a funded vacancy. It supports a competitive grant application WIL is preparing; no award has been made, and there is no guaranteed work or funding.

WIL will ask before naming a candidate or including their resume in any proposal.
