PRIMED

Attracting highly skilled, innovative and motivated young people is essential for long-term success and to keep pace with changing production environments and consumer preferences.

The PRIMED project aims to prepare students in Years 7-10 for futures in primary industries in Western Australia.

With a vision to create a food secure and sustainable world, the PRIMED resources seek to engage students to build an understanding of primary industries (agriculture, fibre, fisheries, food, and forestry) to improve their understanding of the diversity within primary industries and enable them to make informed career pathway choices.

The project informs teachers of career opportunities that exist in agriculture, fibre, fisheries, food, and forestry and supports their integration in curriculum delivery.

Resources include:

  • Curriculum integration of primary industries in Years 7-10 HASS, Science, and Technologies including:
    • Teacher resources
    • Student worksheets
    • PowerPoint
    • Videos.
  • Professional learning including practical activities with both curriculum and industry focus.
