Columbia Gorge Community College continues to work toward getting an Agricultural Technology program started in the fall of 2026.  The program is being developed through collaboration with local and regional orchardists, farmers, vintners, and ranchers to address the need for a skilled local workforce proficient in both traditional ag practices and emerging technologies that could help the businesses thrive in evolving labor and environmental conditions.  The program is also intended to create bridges between local high school programs, meaningful college credentials, and in-demand local careers.
