Agricultural careers on show at CSU
1 JANUARY 2003
At a time when agriculture is facing a skills shortage, a careers fair at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga will give prospective employers the chance to meet students. The student-led careers fair on Thursday 28 July aims to showcase the diversity of career paths in primary industries and to help students make contacts and gain work experience. Students in the School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences and the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences have enlisted exhibitors from agribusiness, government departments, research and development corporations, and farming organisations. The fair will feature career development workshops and CSU graduates will share their experiences of the workforce. Member of the fair's organising committee and Bachelor of Animal Science student Mr Isaac Allen said more than 200 students from CSU in Albury-Wodonga, Orange and Wagga Wagga are expected to attend the annual event. “Companies in certain sectors are really feeling the pinch of the skills shortage,” he said. “Now more than ever, there are opportunities for graduates to pursue careers in the agricultural industries.”
