We wanted to keep you informed that the Canterbury based NextGen Future Farmer applications are open and that the programme is moving ahead.
Teachers and parents are crucial when a student is making career decisions; you offer guidance, support, and valuable insights based on your experiences and understanding of the student’s strengths and interests.
To further support you in these conversations, we wanted to outline the next steps for any students you think would be interested in the NextGen programme.
If you would like to speak with someone one-on-one about any aspect of the programme, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Jo Loe is available on 027 323 2233 or email: jo.loe@dairytraining.co.nz
