I have been informed that Thoroughbred Breeders Australia’s Fast Track program is once again open for applications. This is a program that I believe would be of great appeal to young adults working in the thoroughbred industry.
I am aware that is has been running successfully in NSW for a number of years. It is also worth pointing out that the program is expanding to other states within Australia.
The program was replicated last year here in Victoria through GOTAFE. And it is going to be undertaken again for 2024.
The Australian breeding sector is a world-leader and our horses are recognised for their brilliance on the global stage. Our breeding industry is the biggest after America, meaning thoroughbreds make a huge contribution to the regional economy, supporting thousands of jobs directly, as well as many more in related areas such as horse transport, fencing, fodder and insurance.
Thoroughbred Breeders Australia is committed to helping the industry find the next generation of workers and dedicates significant time and resources to finding enthusiastic people to take up roles on studs across the country.” – About the Fast Track Program | Thoroughbred Breeders Australia
Now if you’ve read my posts throughout this blog for awhile, you’ll know that I absolutely love the thoroughbred industry. It pays well, and has incredible opportunities around Australia and overseas. It also exposes horse workers to a myriad of classes – mares, foals, weanlings, yearlings and stallions.
If you work on a small or large thoroughbred stud, you will gain opportunities to develop so very many skills in relation to horse care.
Fast Track TBA – Applications now open
Being able to undertake training and formalise your skills and knowledge with a certification is worth pursuing. An added bonus is it being ‘fast track’. Over a 12-month period (for a qualification that is usually over an 18-month period) you can achieve this. You can find out more about the Fast Track program through the above link, or even look at the application form here.
