IA completes ag job analysis
The Irrigation Association conducted a certified agricultural irrigation specialist job analysis in January in Dallas, Texas, to assess the duties of an agricultural irrigation specialist to ensure that the CAIS exam is assessing the skills needed to do the job right. Conducting job analyses ensures that the IA exams are legally defensible and based on what individuals within the profession do in the field and how they apply their knowledge.
