24.01.2022 Summer on the farm - next steps This summer, Tasmania’s farms are looking to locals to fill the place of seasonal workers. COVID-19 is impacting the movement of people, placing limits on the usual seasonal and itinerant harvest workforce to reach Tasmania.... While the focus has been on finding short-term workers quickly, are there opportunities from this summer to step into a career in agriculture? The answer is yes there are opportunities and this could be any combination of more work, training and further education. The choice of agricultural careers is too long to list but a good place to learn more is the Career Harvest website (https://www.careerharvest.com.au/). As well as farm work Tasmania has many agricultural services and supply businesses creating job opportunities. https://www.rdatasmania.org.au//summer-on-the-farm-next-s/
