Agricultural employers are being encouraged to look to the future and engage with the next generation of workers at a student-led event at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga on Wednesday 22 July. More than 200 students from CSU's School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences and School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences are expected to attend the annual careers fair, under the new banner Approaching Ag. Organiser and Bachelor of Agricultural Science student Ms Amy Walker said it's an important opportunity for students to make connections and gather information to help tailor subject choices in their final years of study. "The Australian agricultural industry is diverse, vibrant and progressive and we really want our fair to reflect that," she said. "Our message to the industry is to get involved to secure the future of your business or organisation."During the event students will meet with industry representatives and hear from CSU graduates who will share their experience of the workforce. Guest speaker Ms Alison Hamilton, a NSW runner up in the 2010 RIRDC Rural Women's Award, will talk about the challenges and opportunities in the agricultural sector.
