These eleven students underwent intensive training at TAFE NSW Western Institute in Dubbo. The course is structured for individuals seeking a career in the agricultural sector, but who do not have the necessary skills or experience on the land.
Students are taught practical
skills, giving prospective employers the confidence that their future stockmen
and women can do the job. We have gotten in contact with the Dubbo class of 2008
to see how they went after eight weeks of long hours and hard work.You will be pleased to know that all students completed the course and have received their Certificate 2 (NRT). Most already have agricultural jobs lined up and those who don't have positive signs from Western Australian and Northern Territory properties who will be employing again once the wet season is over.
A few students, like Nathan and Kate, were sought out by S. Kidman and Co. and Chloe by Jumbuck Pastoral. Others like Grant and Chris will be working in the family business; whereas, Kellie, Bernie and Emma will be working on private farming properties in Australia.
Usually around twenty per cent of students discover that they no longer wish to pursue agricultural work (which did not happen in this case). More than half of the students are going on to study further, with students like Aliah and Dale seeking Shearing and Wool Handling Certificates and Camille embarking on an Agricultural Traineeship.
All students have certainly become outstanding Jackaroos and Jillaroos.
