Abstract

Rural agriculture retailers, or those engaged in the production of food, fiber, and fuel, are pressed to find just‐in‐time solutions for continual learning with their adult employees, specifically millennials, the generation who will assume future leadership roles. Adult educators in rural settings, or lower populated areas, are encountering rapid technological change and need to transform how they impact learners in and out of the classroom through experiential learning. Technological solutions considered an integral component of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) initiatives, may provide continual learning avenues for millennial employees. This article offers effective ways to engage millennials in agriculture through facilitating peer mentoring, supporting soft skill development, and building the infinite potential of learning and growth in STEM content.
