Engage 2025: A hybrid education program for tertiary

food science students

Engage 2025 is an opportunity for tertiary food science students to come together to connect and learn from industry and academic leaders from across the agrifood industry The program is delivered in a hybrid format across 8 x 2hr sessions across several university locations. Students will have the opportunity to attend in person or virtually.
The aim is to enhance their current academic program and networks, building on their current skills and challenging their knowledge through critical and reflective thinking to better prepare them for the practical, real-world need for food science and their potential place within the agrifood industry. This program is intended to ‘jump start’ their industry readiness.

The course will be run over 9 x 2hr sessions. Eight of these sessions will be held face to face at university campuses around Australia and recorded for all registered participants. The final session, Careers, will be a Zoom session. These sessions would be delivered monthly from April 2025 to October 2025.

You are welcome to still register for this program as previous sessions have been recorded for all registrants.

  • The food industry status - agrifood industry trends
