More recently, interest in our partnered PhD program has broadened,\u2019 Ms Whiteman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are now partnering with more universities to provide industry-based PhD research and industry internship opportunities, including Federation University, Victoria University, University of Tasmania, Deakin University and RMIT.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We have received excellent feedback from everyone involved in the process \u2013 students, supervisors, staff, tertiary institutions and our stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Supervising students is mutually beneficial. They bring fresh knowledge from their study to our research and in return gain much from working side by side with our expert agricultural research scientists in a multi-disciplinary and hi-tech environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When they finish their study, they leave us with a very practical skillset for working in applied agricultural research, with exposure to modern scientific equipment and techniques, plus professional development opportunities like contract management and scientific communication skills.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Many of the students we supervise have had the opportunity to present their research to industry stakeholders, including some national and international events, or have had their work featured in industry publications or the wider media,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Whiteman said as well as our tertiary partnerships the popular, in-house Get Into AgSTEM Program for primary and secondary students runs statewide throughout the school year.<\/p>\n<p>At our AgriBio Centre for AgriBioScience in Bundoora, Melbourne, and across all our regional SmartFarms Agriculture Victoria also supports secondary school work experience and provides placements for TAFE students to promote agriculture as a career of choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agriculture Victoria Students at all levels of education with a passion for STEM are benefitting from Agriculture Victoria\u2019s broadening education program.
