THURSDAY 16TH JULY, 2026 The Farming Futures Careers Fair is Australia’s largest university-run agricultural careers fair for students and graduates. It provides a platform for meaningful conversations between students and industry professionals, helping to spark connections that lead to real career opportunities. By fostering these networks, Farming Futures supports students in launching careers across agribusiness, ag-tech, and agricultural industries dedicated to advancing the sector. Each year, the Careers Fair showcases a diverse range of employers, from leading agribusiness corporations to innovative organisations. For students, it’s a chance to explore future pathways, build professional networks, and develop skills for life beyond university. For industry, it’s an opportunity to connect directly with motivated graduates and future leaders of Australian agriculture. To secure a booth at the 2026 Careers Fair, companies are asked to pay a nominal fee of $550 to cover setup costs (sponsorship packages excluded). This includes a corporate display booth (2m x 1m), trestle table with cloth and chairs, company signage, and the option to be featured in the official Careers Fair guide. Power is available on request. The event is free for UNE students, secondary students and teachers, TAFE students, and the public, making it a high-impact showcase for both industry and future professionals.
