AgCareer Start – Applications Open

The AgCareer Start program allows young people to spend a gap year working on farms with the aim of encouraging them to pursue a career in agriculture.

Organised by the National Farmers Federation, they are looking for employers who:

• Are able to offer a safe and positive experience for a young Australian

• Have the capacity to teach and support someone who might have limited experience in agriculture

• Are able to offer full-time paid employment for a period of 10 – 12 months in 2025*

• Can offer flexibility to your participant so they can undertake training and attend industry events

• Can provide accommodation, or assist in finding accommodation off farm

 *Participants must be paid at – or above-award wages. All host farms must provide a signed employment contract to AgCAREERSTART before the placement commences.
