Dairy farms can be exciting
places to work with lots of opportunities. As an employee, dairy farming gives
you a job that is outdoors, working with animals, machinery and other people.
It also provides a great way to gain skills that are ‘transportable’ (useful if
you want to travel) and that can start you on the road to owning your own herd,
farm or other assets.
Working
on a dairy farm requires a high level of capability, regardless of the role.
Whether you are working with animals or out in the paddock with machinery, it
is important that you develop the skills and knowledge required to safely and
proficiently undertake your work. Developing your capability also provides
exciting opportunities for you to increase your responsibilities on farm and
progress your career.
The dairy industry, including
your employer, colleagues in the farm business and service sector are committed
to providing learning and development opportunities that support you to have a
safe and rewarding work experience.
In preparation to start your
employment on farm, the dairy industry has prepared these short learning
modules to assist you to be farm ready.
Each module will take
approximately half an hour and will give you an important foundation to begin
your employment.
