Fonterra is committed to developing the dairy industry as a whole, including building capability and supporting both current and future talent. As part of that commitment, they’ve partnered with organisations such as The Wonder Project, Agribusiness in Schools, and House of Science to develop a programme that educates schoolchildren about the career opportunities available in dairy.

Many students assume dairy is only “gumboots and mud”, but the reality is that the sector offers a wide range of careers, from on-farm roles through to science, technology, engineering, finance, and more. Fonterra engaged us to help design and build a platform to bring this programme to life for students, educators, and caregivers.

The website explains the programme for each audience and is packed with information and resources. Whether you’re a student exploring the industry, a teacher looking for classroom ideas and materials, or a parent/caregiver wanting to understand the opportunities and support a young person’s choices, the content is designed to be practical and easy to use. We received strong feedback from Fonterra and, importantly, from teachers and students (the people the site is designed to support).
