Bring your career to life: choose horticulture
We’re delighted to share with you all a video we’ve put
together with the Victorian Skills Commission to promote our industry as a
fulfilling and exciting career choice; encouraging school leavers and career
changers, to choose horticulture and bring their careers to life.
The video follows the journey of a disengaged young office
worker who is whisked away and taken on a tour of the world of horticulture by
a charismatic plant. They journey through the many different sectors within the
industry; from growers and nurseries to garden centres and botanic gardens; exploring
the rich variety of workplaces and job opportunities on offer. View the video
The story highlights the incredible diversity and
opportunity that our industry has to offer; and culminates with the lead
character realising that it’s time to bring her career to life by choosing
horticulture.
We want to spread this video far and wide and want to offer
you access to aid your own recruitment process. Whether it lives on the
employment section of your website or it’s shared through your LinkedIn page;
it’s a resource that we want to offer you.
A big thank you to Mansfield’s Propagation Nursery, Warners
Nurseries, Gardenworld and the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, for allowing to
us to film at their sites.
And if you would like access to the video files, email Matt and let’s share the
wonderful world of horticulture with the next generation of growers.
