RACE GOULBURN

Raising aspirations and career education in agriculture

Goulburn-Murray Region agriculture is a world class industry with the agrifood sector being the largest contributor to the local economy. Despite this significance, many students remain unaware of the ways their different strengths and interests can be explored through the world of agricultural work. RACE Goulburn-Murray Region connects the classroom with the wider world of Goulburn agriculture and encourages students to explore their potential in a dynamic, STEM driven industry that exists in their own backyard.-murry
