Agri Aware is excited to announce our "Intro to Ag" programme, developed in partnership with Laois/Offaly ETB. This pilot programme will be rolled out in the LOETB schools in 2024/2025. Building Agricultural literacy is our single most important priority in Agri Aware and programmes like this will help to open up the agricultural sector particularly to those from a non farming background. Launched at the Tullamore show, we aim to challenge the recent fall in numbers taking up leaving cert Ag science by introducing students in transition year to the subject, giving them a flavour for the potential curriculum learnings and subsequently the many career opportunities that are available from studying Agricultural related courses at third level. Special thanks to Minister McConalogue for taking the time out of his schedule to launch this programme.
Well done to all involved 👏🏼 and thanks for being part of Tullamore Show!
A great initiative!
