Career Harvest has a brand-new logo!

We're excited to announce that our online careers platform has undergone a major update with a brand-new logo that is designed to effectively represent all the industries we cover, including plant, animal, and innovation/technology.

The new logo has a modern design that we believe will take us well into the future. We wanted a logo that effectively represents the purpose of the Career Harvest platform, which provides information on career opportunities, scholarships, and pathways in food and fibre.

This logo update follows our refresh of the entire website last year. We're committed to making sure our users have the best experience possible when they use our platform, and we believe this new logo is just one more step in that direction.

Here’s the website if you’d like a sneak peek. Let us know what you think! https://buff.ly/2LuVE34

It’s been a big few days at the Primary Industries Education Foundation Australia-PIEFA conference.
A great representative team from Tassie attended. We’re armed with lots of great knowledge to bring back to Ag education in Tassie.

We are working on finding a better way to contact Hobby Farmers and Small Landholders in the event of an emergency animal disease or plant pest disease outbreak. If you are a Hobby Farmer or know someone who is, please consider doing our survey. By doing so, you can help us offer support and information on how to protect your property from potential outbreaks. Everyone who fills in a survey at Agfest goes in the running to win a $100 Bunnings voucher! Visit us at our Agfest site 606-608, Sixth Avenue. 4 - 6 May 2023. See you there! 🐄🐑🐖🌱🍎
