What an awesome moment seeing EIT’s very own Agriculture Tutor, Sam Sidney, and ākonga at the farm with the Burke family on Country Calendar.

Future-proofing our farming industry starts with investing in the next generation. Sam, along with EIT ākonga are gaining the skills, knowledge and experience needed to help shape a strong and sustainable future for Aotearoa and its primary sector.

We’re incredibly proud to see our tutors and ākonga making a real impact, preparing rangatahi not just for the farming jobs of today, but for the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow.

Ka rawe, Sam and team!
