Abstract
Survey responses were used to develop career skill portfolios for a sample of former agriculture students. Cluster analysis identified three distinct career profiles differentiated by the relative need for communication skills; interpersonal skills; computer, quantitative, and management information; business and economics skills; and technical skills. Statistical tests supported the hypothesis that distinct skill and competency portfolios obtain differential values in labor markets. Results suggested that career advancement strategies should emphasize communication and interpersonal skills and that these skills be developed early in an employee's career.
