YOUNG agricultural scholarship recipients had a day of career immersion in Boort last week.
Jack Gould (Pyramid Hill College), Fynn Clymo (East Loddon P-12 College) and Kathleen Hocking (Boort District School) were among students part of the North Central LLEN’s Nutirent scholar program.
The afternoon began with Boort branch manager Cam Mitchell taking students on a tour of the office and merchandise.  
An nteractive careers panel included Cam, Teagen Welsh (Kerang manager), Sean Fitzpatrick (agronomist) and Eliza Perryman (past scholarship winner and now Nutrien trainee).  
Each panelist  had a diverse career journey but they highlighted the importance of being enthusiastic, asking questions and taking opportunities.
The day concluded with a formal ceremony where Claudia Cox (NCLLEN) and Sarah Mulligan (Nutrien) presented students with their award which included a monetary component to help them with their future studies. Jack completed his Certificate 3 in Engineering Fabrication last year. Jack has exhibited his strong passion for ag in his attendance to the NCLLEN Longerenong College and BCG Main Field Day. 
Fynn worked for Eade Contracting last year and completed his Certificate 3 in Agriculture. Fynn has a keen interest in ag particularly agronomy, he is extending his studies this year to make this possible. Fynn is from a dairy farm, and North Central LLEN and many students from East Loddon have had the privilege of experiencing Calmo Farms through the Broader Horizons program.
Kathleen has grown up on the family farm near Pyramid Hill.  She has worked in shearing sheds and with feedlotted sheep.  She has done work experience at a merino ram stud near Echuca and at the Nutrien Wool Store in Melbourne.  
She hopes her future career will be in agriculture particularly the livestock industry.
