Engaging the Next Generation in the Poultry Industry
The recent Far Out Science and Oorala Sessions, hosted by Poultry Hub Australia (PHA) in collaboration with the University of New England (UNE), opened exciting doors for local students. With a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), this initiative allowed participants from primary and secondary schools to immerse themselves in the dynamic field of poultry science.
Hands-On Learning Experiences
During the two-day workshops at UNE's Armidale campus, over 800 students got the chance to learn about the inner workings of the poultry industry from professionals actively involved in research and education. These hands-on activities included egg quality testing, which not only provided practical insights but also highlighted the evolving technological landscape within the sector.
Inspiring Future Careers
Targeting students from diverse backgrounds, including those from low socio-economic areas, PHA’s workshops aimed to broaden horizons about career pathways in agricultural sciences. Many students left with newfound interest in pursuing careers they may not have previously considered, echoing a broader trend in education: the need to connect youth with prospective employer needs and job market demands.
The Industry’s Commitment to Future Generations
What this hands-on initiative reflects is a commitment not just to fostering academic enthusiasm but also to addressing local and global food security challenges. With the poultry industry playing a vital role, educating young minds about this field is integral to building a sustainable future. The workshops thus served not only to inform but also to inspire, encouraging the next generation of industry leaders to envision their role in shaping the future of food production.
Call to Action: Invest in Our Future
As professionals in the poultry sector, consider supporting initiatives that engage young minds through similar hands-on learning experiences. Together, we can cultivate the curiosity and passion that our industry needs tomorrow.
