Careers in Agriculture

The RAS Careers in Agriculture Expo works with the agricultural sector to promote career opportunities to young people by bringing industry and trade employers, industry groups, educational institutions and government together.  The Expo provides an excellent forum for students, parents and teachers to learn about and discuss the long term career options to young people by bringing industry and trade employers, industry groups, educational institutions and government together.

Held on the first day of the Sydney Royal Easter Show, Thursday 5 April, the Careers in Agriculture Expo provides a unique platform for the agricultural industry to meet young people with an interest in an agricultural career as well as promoting the diversity of agricultural careers to a wider audience.

2012 will be the fourth consecutive Careers in Agriculture Expo coordinated by the RAS youth Group.  Each year the event has improved, developed and continued to grow, attracting increased numbers and growing interest from High Schools and Careers Advisers.  For the first time, the careers in Agriculture Expo will be joining forces with the 'School Days' Program at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.  'Schools Day' offers the opportunity to bring school groups to the Show for a fun and interactive educational experience.

Following a successful launch at the 2011 Careers in Agriculture Expo, we will be offering two Careers in Agriculture Seminars in 2012 and we are proud to open the seminars to higher secondary and tertiary students along with the teachers, careers advisors and parents.  Speakers will include a range of industry representatives and tertiary education providers highlighting both the career opportunities available in a variety of sectors, and the tertiary pathways to get there.
