Session 5: Extension Program Development

The onboarding program is a series of in-person trainings for new Clemson Cooperative Extension Agents to orient them to the nuances of Extension. Each session is hosted by a District Director in their region and covers a range of topics. The May and September Sessions are held on the Clemson University campus and are two days. All other sessions are one day.

New Agents do not have to compete all six onboarding sessions their first year. You have until your first promotion to complete the program, which is three years for a Bachelor’s degree and two years for a Master’s degree. You will work with your District Extension Director to complete the onboarding program.
