What is the Extension Program Buy-in process?
Extension educational programs are developed to address local needs. Once approved, the educational programs are made available to VCE staff so they may review and respond. Personnel respond (“buy in”) to the appropriate educational programs by indicating the outcomes they expect to achieve for the next program year. At the end of the year, an annual report is prepared for each Planned Program. In addition, staff are able to amend or update their buy-in annually, or as often as needed in order to be responsive to changing needs.
