The Agribusiness Gateway to Industry Schools project, through school engagement and education programs, aims to introduce young Queenslanders to the many careers available in the state's agriculture industry.
The key priorities of the project are to:
- expand existing programs by increasing partnerships with the local agricultural industry
- incorporate the latest AgTech into the classroom
- enhance agricultural teaching in schools through new professional development opportunities for teachers, to equip them with an understanding of the latest technologies and practices utilised in the industry.
Participating schools
The project offers 2 activity streams for schools to get involved:
- Schools can apply to be a Gateway School where the project team will work closely with school staff over 12 months to create connections with industry and build capacity to embed agriculture across the curriculum.
- Teachers will have the opportunity to participate in professional development, or they can elect to host the project team in class to deliver curriculum-aligned lessons focused on the science and technology of agriculture.
Project partners
The Agribusiness Gateway to Industry Schools project is managed by CQUniversity in partnership with AgForce School to Industry Partnership Program (SIPP), AgriFutures Australia and the Queensland Agricultural Teachers Association (QATA).
