Editor's Notes
- Conduct an evidence-based study to identify important characteristics of evolving 21st Century Extension professionals to inform our hiring, professional development, educational and support systems. We expect that study results and conclusions will help us more rapidly move our Extension programs into the 21st Century. Expected Outcomes: A clear understanding of the expectations of modern Extension professionals. Enhanced hiring processes facilitated by better identification of 21st Century Extension attributes in applicants. Better design and effectiveness of orientation and staff development programs for new and current employees. Improved job satisfaction leading to better retention of new hires. Informed academic programs who develop enhanced educational experiences focused on important characteristics of 21st Century Extension professionals.
