Abstract
Agriculture is an important sector of the economy in Arab countries. While a system of agricultural technical schools (ATS) is in place in some countries, there has not been an effort to help ensure that students in those programs are adequately prepared to enter the workforce and be productive. The development and implementation of a model that identifies the agricultural business and industry and how to prepare graduates to enter the workforce will transcend the Arab countries. This chapter will identify ways to conduct a skill gap analysis, provide ways to transform the curricula, maintain updated technical course content, identify ways to have improved teaching methods, model a train-the-trainer approach, and design ways to promote student involvement and growth.
