The WA Agricultural Research Collaboration (WAARC) was proud to sponsor Curtin Agriculture Association’s (CAA) Networking Night on 20 May 2026, supporting an evening of connection between students and industry.
Held at the Victoria Park Carlisle Bowling Club, the event brought together Curtin students and agricultural professionals for presentations, Q&A and informal networking over pizza and drinks.
WAARC Capacity Building and Extension Program Lead Jenny Crisp and Communications and Stakeholder Engagement Coordinator Sian Orchard connected with students and industry representatives at the WAARC booth, sharing information about PhD and Honours scholarship opportunities.
Representatives from InterGrain, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Milne AgriGroup, Farming Management Services and Planfarm shared insights into career pathways across agriculture and food including internships, graduate programs, training opportunities and roles for university graduates.
The presentations prompted an engaging Q&A session with students asking thoughtful questions about career journeys, industry opportunities and the future of agriculture.
It was a valuable opportunity for students to hear first-hand career advice, learn more about participating organisations and explore the wide range of pathways available across the sector.
WAARC congratulates the Curtin Ag Association Executive Committee for delivering a successful event and strengthening connections between study and agricultural career pathways in Western Australia.
Events such as this highlight the importance of creating spaces where students can connect, build confidence and explore opportunities to help shape the future of agriculture.
