2020 Year 12 School Leavers Wanted

As you may have heard, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020/21 harvest seasons are going to be extremely

challenging due to a shortage of labour usually provided by travelling workers.

To assist our local producers to get their crops into markets and on shelves, Cozwine, the Commonwealth funded

Harvest Trail provider, is seeking to attract school leavers to the harvest and provide them with accredited training

and a COVID safe harvest experience. Support with transport and local accommodation arrangements will also be provided.

The Harvest Trail Experience will provide school leavers with an amazing opportunity to participate in the annual 

cherry harvest experience in the picturesque Young Region and Central West commencing immediately after the

HSC and going through to Christmas. The cohort will receive a full industry orientation and accredited induction

training with support to make this a memorable experience with their peers.

This is a great opportunity for year 12 students to grab their friends have an adventure and make up for some

missed experiences. They will earn money, build life skills, gain experience and travel to parts of the country

they may never have seen.

Students can maximise their experience by continuing on the NSW Harvest Trail and working across a number

of seasons, gaining further skills and qualifications for at least 6 months.

Please distribute to your Year 12 students immediately!

To help inform potential participants, there is a letter from Cozwine attached for further details and some links

to showcase the harvest are provided below:

A webinar is planned for the first week of October. For information prior to that, head tohttps://www.cozwine.com.au/harvest-trail-jobs/

or call Robert Millington on 02 7201 8888.
