AgCAREERSTART
AgCAREERSTART encourages people aged 18-25 to kick-start their farming future with a gap year placement in Australia’s food and fibre industry.
Over 10-12 months, participants live in an exciting regional location, earn a nationally recognised qualification and build life-long industry connections.
Community Perceptions and Worker Experience Project
The Community Perceptions and Worker Experiences Research Project aims to better understand and respond to community perceptions and worker experiences within Australia’s food and fibre industries.

The project will inform actions to improve the sector’s ability to attract and retain workers.
