The long-standing mission of 4-H has been to positively develop youth, assist them in career development, and provide high-impact experiences. The attrition of extension agents has substantially impacted this youth development goal. Although numerous reasons exist why extension agents are leaving the profession, a lack of employability skills could be a primary factor. Many agents struggle with managing key aspects of their position, including interpreting scientific information, communicating effectively, resolving conflicts, and managing volunteers. This study assessed the self-reported employability skills of New Mexico extension agents and examined how career stage affected perceptions of their abilities within each skill area. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, we distributed a survey to all extension agents (N = 49) in New Mexico who had a youth development appointment with 4-H. We received 19 responses, which equates to a 38.8% response rate. The results suggested that agents felt moderately to very confident in their employability skills, with the lowest-ranking skills being the use of technology, modifying systems, managing time and personnel resources, and applying mathematical and scientific concepts. The results also suggested a statistical difference in the perceptions of induction-stage agents and their non-induction-stage colleagues regarding some employability skill areas. Based on these results, we recommend providing professional development to agents to increase employability skills in selected areas.
