Career Pathway in Focus: Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources Pathway
Meet Sydney, a hardworking Kewaunee High School student who’s thriving in the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources Pathway through her Youth Apprenticeship at Ebert Enterprises. Whether she’s caring for calves, maintaining equipment, or lending a hand wherever it’s needed, Sydney approaches every task with dedication, curiosity, and heart.
Her supervisors describe her as having “amazing work ethic, asking great questions, and never being afraid to get a little dirty.” She’s known for her kindness, teamwork, and even her initiative to learn Spanish so she can better communicate with coworkers — a true example of the interpersonal and professional skills that make the agriculture industry thrive.
At Ebert Enterprises, Sydney is gaining firsthand experience in one of Wisconsin’s most essential industries. Agriculture is more than farming — it’s science, technology, sustainability, and leadership. Through opportunities like this, students are discovering that agriculture offers a wide range of rewarding, high-skill careers that keep our communities fed, our land cared for, and our economy growing.
Sydney’s story reminds us that when students connect passion with purpose, they help grow more than crops — they help grow Wisconsin’s future. |
