About Landworks

Bridging the gap between employers and employees by laying the foundation for employment opportunities in the agriculture industry.

What is Landworks?

Landworks is an ecosystem where prospective employees that are passionate about the agriculture industry can access various opportunities. These opportunities will allow them to upskill and gain practical knowledge in their fields of interest, helping them become valued future team members.

This ecosystem also provides employers with access to the best prospective employees in the market. It offers the opportunity to train young candidates with the practical skills they need to excel in their careers, while helping businesses find the right talent for senior positions. Landworks will be the space where this happens.

Why does Landworks exist?

The concept behind Landworks emerged from a need identified in the agriculture industry due to a shortage of reliable and skilled labor reported by employers, including farmers and agricultural businesses.

Consultations with prospective employees, students, and industry stakeholders revealed a belief that there are insufficient employment opportunities in the sector. Many prospective employees noted a lack of practical experience, which hindered their ability to apply for available jobs.

Recognising the clear gap between employers and the need for skilled candidates with relevant practical experience and knowledge, Landworks was established to address this need.
