“I really enjoyed the academy as it has allowed me to gain knowledge and experience of a pig production business. I have been able to develop and learn new skills while being supported all the way. I enjoyed visiting the different units as it showed me how the company works as a whole, and I was able to learn new and different skills from each unit. I would definitely recommend the academy as it is an amazing opportunity to start your career, and you are supported all the way through the training.”

“I applied to the JSR Academy when I was in my final year of college.  I knew I wanted work within agriculture, but I just didn’t know which part of the industry to go into.  Since I started, I’ve gained invaluable knowledge and skills which in turn has improved my confidence.  I am now solving problems with the skills I’ve learned and even helping other people using my own experience.

I have really enjoyed working at the AI Stud and working with some of the JSR Genetics geneticists learning about some of the breeding science and technology. I really appreciate the opportunities for growth and learning that the JSR Academy has offered me.”
