Innovation Training
The AFII Innovation Training Initiative helps industry by supporting students and professionals to develop the skills and experience agriculture needs to grow and thrive into the future.
Australian agriculture has an important role to play in addressing many key issues facing society now and into the future. To grow and thrive into the future, the sector will need to draw on an increasingly diverse range of skills and ways of thinking. Drawing on expertise from field such as engineering, computer science, policy, ecology, business and social sciences, the agricultural workforce of the future will look very different to now.
At ANU we work with industry at multiple levels to understand these needs and support the development of a skilled, future-ready workforce. This includes:
- Postgraduate and short courses for industry professionals
- Bespoke training – we can work with you to develop and deliver a learning program tailored to your workforce
- Industry experiences – we facilitate ag industry internships and student projects
- We conduct research on the future skills and workforce needs of industry, and develop training and education programs to meet these needs

If you are a business or industry organisation in the agrifood sector, we can help you to engage an ANU undergraduate or postgraduate student intern.
By adding agricultural courses to your degree at ANU, you can be a part of the growing movement to sustainably feed the world.
If you are starting or have recently started a PhD in at ANU that relates to agriculture, you may be eligible for a scholarship.
