SFIRP – Ag Careers
PIEFA'S NSW SFIRP PROGRAM
The Storm and Flood Industry Recovery program will improve community connectivity, linking schools with local primary industries and the many rewarding agricultural careers that are available in flood affected LGAs across NSW. By developing locally focused teaching resources and careers programs, this project will deliver a stronger foundation to develop interest in local careers in the primary industries, building local resilience to improve recovery from flood disasters.
PIEFA’s Storm and Flood Industry Recovery Program (SFIRP) is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements. Although funding for this product has been provided by both Australian and NSW Governments, the material contained herein does not necessarily represent the views of either Government.

CAREER Q&A SESSIONS – DIGITAL LEARNING KITS
This series of Career Q&A videos forms part of a suite of resources promoting careers within agriculture. Three candidates are interviewed and asked the same series of questions about their careers in agriculture. The videos can either be watched individually, depending on the topic, or all three of the videos can be watched together. The following videos discuss some of the industry’s issues as well as demonstrating the variety of roles, both as producers and off farm roles within the cotton industry.

Water Farming Q & A Videos
This suite of resources explores careers in the Aquaculture or Water Farming industries. The three videos consider the production of food fibre within water systems as opposed to on land. The videos provide insights from a mussel farmer, oyster farmer and aquaculture nutritionist. Each video discusses improvements in production and sustainability and provides an overview of each career. The videos are a useful accompaniment for lessons on production, sustainability and careers within aquaculture.
Education Farming Q & A Videos
This series of videos explores employment in education and how these roles promote careers in food and fibre.

He offers insight into how to promote food fibre opportunities to metropolitan students, encouraging them to consider careers in the industry. Fraser Border, the founder of integratedSTEM and also a robotics engineer, discusses the use of technology in his career and how technology can increase engagement for school students to solve real world problems in food and fibre industries.
