FARRER STUDENTS THINK BEYOND SCHOOL GATES
Students at Farrer Agricultural High took time to think about life, beyond the school gates today.
As part of the state business chamber’s skills roadshow, counsellors were on hand to talk about career options.
“We’re trying to tackle the unemployment rate, it’s upwards of 16 per cent in the New England area, it’s a horrible statistic, so the earlier we can get these guys thinking about career stuff and just plant the seed early, the way better chance they’ve got down the track of actually being successful and moving into those good careers.”
The roadshow will visit a number of schools in Tamworth over the coming weeks, before heading to the Hunter.
