Help Promote Ag Careers to Young Canadians at iamthefuture.ca!

Did you know that one in every eight jobs in Canada is in agriculture? Agriculture is a significant part of Canada’s economy, employing over 2.3 million people. From a grain trader to a graphic designer or an agronomist to an accountant, the agriculture and agri-food industry offers a world of opportunity with countless career options.

Throughout the month of March, which is Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month, Agriculture in the Classroom Canada is promoting careers in agriculture and agri-food with a social media campaign targeting Canadian youth. If you are embarking on your own career journey or know someone who is, visit www.iamthefuture.ca and learn more about the opportunities in the ag sector.

Take a peek into the future at www.iamthefuture.ca. A cool new video tool gives young Canadians the chance to see themselves in the future. Simply upload a photo and select five attributes that best describe you. You’ll get a custom AI video that shows you in different roles along with a list of potential careers in agriculture and agri-food that match your attributes and interests.
