Education
Shaping the future
AgForce believes in promoting agriculture to the next generation by encouraging today’s students to consider a challenging and fulfilling career in a rural industry.
AgForce's School to Industry Partnership Program, the only program of its kind in Australia, has grown from strength to strength since its inception in 2004.
So far, this vital program has educated more than 12,000 students about the diversity and potential of choosing a career in agriculture.
In December 2006, the program’s funding was extended until 2011, via the Queensland Department of Education, Training and the Arts and the Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (now Queensland Primary Industries).
This gives the program the potential to reach another 60,000 students through career talks, farm tours, science days and other activities.
The Rural Champion Volunteer program, launched in 2008, is a vital component of the program to help spread the Every Family Needs A Farmer message to the urban community.
