To conclude our Year 7 CCC - Cows Create Careers unit for this term, and to demonstrate the depth and breath of careers that directly or indirectly revolve around agriculture in our region, students undertook a walking tour of Timboon. At The Vet Group, veterinarian Erin Gardner outlined the various roles and career opportunities available in their mixed animal practice that has both production animals, including sheep and cattle and pets such as cats, dogs and horses as their patients. A focus on preventative options as well as emergency services means that a range of veterinarians, vet nurses, groomers technicians and office staff are employed by the clinic. Tim Nowell from Nutrien Ag Solutions, described his career pathway and the variety of careers including agronomy, horticulture, livestock, merchandise, property and agribusiness covered under the Nutrien banner. To conclude our tour, students visited Timboon Fine Ice Cream where students learnt about the career path of Caroline Simmons whose business targets the tourism and hospitality industries. Students heard about the creation of the 12 Apostles Artisan Trail and its role in promoting artisans in our region and gratefully sampled cones of dairy delights. Thank you Erin, Tim and Caroline for sharing your journey with us and for helping make students more aware of the myriad of careers available across agriculture in our region. Comments are closed.
