Goulburn Murray Local Learning & Employment Network partnered with GOTAFE and Shepparton business and industry to deliver the Find Your Passion – An Introduction to Local Agriculture and Horticulture Jobs Taster Day on Tuesday, June 25.

The day provided secondary school students across the Goulburn Valley an opportunity to learn more about agriculture and horticulture career and education pathways.

It promised to provide a captivating interactive experience tailored for student groups from local schools within our community.

Drawing inspiration from the excitement of The Amazing Race, the program is meticulously curated, immersing participants in dynamic activities centred around the agriculture and horticulture sectors.

At the end of the day, each participant received a certificate of participation.
