A Co. Cavan man has been crowned the national winner at the Intro to Ag Transition Year programme.
Agri Aware and the Laois and Offaly Education and Training Board announced that Sean Duffy was the winner at the Aviva Stadium yesterday.
Sean’s project on vacuum silage making was one of 14 projects presented across six schools and was chosen as the National Winner of the programme.
Judges were impressed by the project’s innovation, the model developed to demonstrate the idea, and the strong delivery of the overall presentation.
The Intro to Ag Transition Year programme is designed to encourage students to take Agricultural Science for Senior Cycle, while also introducing them to Further Education and Training (FET) pathways, and career opportunities within the agri sector.
This unique event showcased the learnings from the programme, while also demonstrating to stakeholders in the agri-food sector the work Agri Aware and LOETB are actively implementing in this area of second level education.
