Celebrating 10 years of the schools’ competition 🌟Applications open now! 

Calling all TY students and teachers 📢 We have caught up with some of our past participants to show you and your school how the competition continues to empower young people in the agri and food industry. These brilliant young people who have pursued fantastic careers and educational paths have a message for you as you apply!

Last but not least, we get to meet Rachel Maguire (2022), Saidhbh Gaffney (2020), and Shauna Jager (2017) 

⚪ Rachel is in second year in UCD studying agricultural science, specialising in animal science. The competition has not only deepened her understanding of agriculture, animal husbandry, and sustainability, but it also helped Rachel to create contacts in the agricultural industry. 

⚪ Saidhbh received Bachelor of Science and Human Nutrition in ATU Sligo. She is currently working in Abbott Nutrition in Cootehill. Despite being from a non-farming background she is glad that she participated in the competition because it exposed her to career opportunities within agriculture and the food industry, and she also got to make friends. 

⚪ Shauna studied agricultural science in UCD, and specialised in food and agri business management. She currently is on an international graduate programme working as part of the meat and livestock team. Every day, Shauna sees first-hand Irish beef enjoyed globally by consumers, key opinion leaders and chefs. 

We are so proud of each and every student who participates in our competition – a special thank you to those who have sent their update videos 🎥
