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
