Landscape Management

The Institute of Agricultural Technology (IAT) has partnered with Wayne County Community College District (WCCCD) to offer a unique way to help students earn an MSU certificate in Landscape Management while working towards an Associate Degree.

• Food safety manager
• Machinery and equipment maintenance
• Specialty food processing

What’s the Job Outlook for Food Processing, Technology, and Safety?

Overall employment of agricultural and food scientists is projected to grow 9 percent from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average for all occupations. About 4,400 openings for agricultural and food scientists are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
