Nurseries urged to consider interns
Expressions of interest are being sought from nurseries interested in taking on an intern, with funding available to assist with costs during both the internship and the first year of employment if that is offered.
The Hort Innovation Internship Program is co-funded by participating businesses and Horticulture Innovation Australia using horticultural research and development levies and funds from the Australian Government.
The program is open to final year graduates in any course, providing nurseries with access not only to students who already have an interest in horticulture, but a whole range of other skills such as IT and accounting which are also vital in any business.
