Your Future in Agriculture
Starts Here
Digital and Agricultural Technologies training and work placements program. An employer-led initiative, supporting women seeking work, women already employed in agriculture, and agricultural businesses across South East Queensland
Digital Training and Employer-led Pathways
Training options range from foundational digital skills through to advanced ag-tech, automation and business management, and are suitable for:
Digital Skills Training
Over 30 courses either online or in a classroom. From foundational digital skills training to drones and GPS-guided machinery. Inclusive of a vocational business management skillset for business owners and their managers.
Most courses are free (conditions apply).
Work Placements
Job opportunities are facilitated through our online Jobs Portal, used by both participants and agricultural employers.
Participants can explore live roles and placement opportunities online, while employers can advertise jobs, offer placements, and connect directly with women who have completed relevant training.
Employer Partnerships
We partner with local agricultural businesses to match trained candidates with real workforce needs, at zero cost to employers or participants.
This project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government through its Growing Workforce Participation Fund.
Agriculture Needs More Women in Technical Roles
Modern agriculture and rural businesses run on technology. From digital communication devices to networked data sharing, big data management, GPS-guided machinery, drone operations, data-driven crop management, and automated livestock systems.
Yet women hold only 35% of agricultural jobs nationally, and fewer than 23% occupy technical and coordination positions. That gap represents a significant opportunity.
