Grow Our Own update | February 2025

The first quarter of 2025 has been busy as Grow Our Own industry liaison officers reconnect with careers advisors and workforce providers to firm up our collaborative Riverina calendars.

Each year as schools return, we regroup, ask questions of our stakeholders and wider communities, listening for the needs of our future workforce who are sitting in schools, looking at job, pathway and career opportunities.

Industry experiences are planned across the Riverina in the first half of this year that will inform work experience choices for students to try a trade, see themselves in the world of work, ask better questions and engage in forums and programs that our Riverina providers have in place.

Our steering committees will meet around the table in both Eastern and Western Riverina, to steer the focus of Grow Our Own for 2025 as a foundation for driving Regional NSW to long term sustainable economic success.
