Your Thoughts | Help Shape CEA Workforce Development Curriculum

Assistant Research Professor Juan Cabrera-Garcia and the research team at the University of Missouri – Kansas City (UMKC) are conducting a study to identify the knowledge and skills needed at different job hierarchies in the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) industry. The survey results will help UMKC identify relevant topics needed to develop curriculum focused on CEA.

If you choose to be in this study, simply complete this brief survey that will only take about 5 minutes of your time to complete.

Your participation is entirely voluntary; you may skip any questions that you don’t want to answer or choose to stop participating at any time.

Your responses will be anonymous; there is no way for the research team to identify you or your responses to the survey. At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you wish to participate in a raffle for a chance to win one  full conference pass  to attend Indoor Ag-Con, February 27-28, 2023.  If you agree to participate, you will be taken to a separate survey so you can provide your contact details.
