Get hands-on experience in Australian manufacturing

Active Group’s Try a Trade program is designed for school students who are curious about careers in agriculture, manufacturing, engineering and trades and want to see what it’s really like to work to get hands-on the tools of our trade.

Based at our manufacturing site in Cowra, NSW, the program offers students the opportunity to gain real-world work experience during school holidays, working alongside experienced tradespeople, engineers and production teams.
