The Farm-Factory-Fork Career Discovery brings together students and industry professionals for a day of connection, exploration, and hands-on learning.

Meet & Connect

Students will meet the companies that shape the industry, while businesses connect directly with the next generation of talent. It’s a unique chance for both sides to explore opportunities, share stories, and build relationships that inspire the future of food and beverage.

Hear Real Career Stories

Industry professionals will share their own journeys: what they studied, how they got started, and what their day-to-day looks like. For students, it’s a chance to see where different interests can lead. For companies, it’s a way to highlight the rewarding paths your team offers.

Bring It to Life

This isn’t a sit-and-watch event. Students will engage in hands-on activities, tastings, and demos that bring careers to life. Companies can showcase their work in action, giving students a true sense of the exciting opportunities across the industry.
