What is External Advisory Committee

Agricultural and economic development in Arab countries is dependent upon having a well-prepared agricultural workforce. Among the components that are central to that mission are the utilization of an active and supportive external advisory committee and the incorporation of real-life, hands-on experiences for students through internships. This chapter provides background information to assist school and college administrators in establishing and maintaining an advisory committee as well as guidance for school and college personnel to incorporate student internships into the curricula.
