YOUNG Aussies seeking careers in agriculture will reap the benefits of the Federal Government-backed AgCareerStart pilot program.

​The program provides on-the-job experience, offering successful applicants aged 18–25, the opportunity to have a practical placement on a farm or property over a 10–12-month period.

​The AgCareerStart pilot started back in 2021 and has since provided 180 young people with experience working in agriculture in the early part of their careers.

An additional $500,000 has been committed to the $5 million initiative in the 2023–24 Federal Budget, which underpins the pilot for a further two years.

​The program provides on-the-job training, free lodging with the host farm, a development grant and the opportunity to build strong relationships within the industry.

​DAFF’s deputy secretary of policy Matthew Lowe said the program was a fantastic initiative that connected farmers with young individuals seeking career pathways in the sector.

“The pilot program has been valuable for employers and participants with 82pc of participants completing their placement,” he said.

​“A high percentage of them (80pc), also indicated they will stay on in the agriculture sector following their time with the program.

​“The ag sector is on track to being an $100 billion industry by 2030, and to reach this goal it is vital that we have a pipeline of young, motivated Australians in this space,” Mr Lowe said.

​“The AgCareerStart pilot program connects young like-minded people together, creating strong relationships and networking opportunities for participants.

​“Agriculture has so many career pathways, from animal husbandry, developing and operating state-of-the-art machinery and technology, to business, marketing and STEM research and analysis.”
