YOUNG people wanting to enter the extensive cattle industry have even greater chance of success with a new program developed by nine of Australia’s biggest pastoral companies.

The Northern Beef Industries Program will see students complete Certificates II and III in Rural Operations plus six weeks of work experience on a cattle property, with successful students guaranteed job interviews at the end of the program.

The pastoral companies signed an agreement with the Colleges, ensuring graduates will be considered for relevant entry level station hand positions available upon graduation.acc-logo

Companies supporting the program include the Australian Agricultural Co, Consolidated Pastoral Co, Georgina Pastoral Co, Heytesbury Cattle Co, MDH, the North Australian Pastoral Co, S. Kidman and Co, Stanbroke and Australian Country Choice.
