The Thoroughly Schooled Program, has been developed through the Regional Industry Education Partnerships (RIEP) program in collaboration with Hunter Thoroughbred Breeders Association and TAFE NSW. The Program aims to build the practical skills for Year 10 students and expose them to the many multi-layered facets of the thoroughbred industry.
16 students were successful through an expression of interest to be part of the Program, which included a week at Scone TAFE campus to gain basic horse skills, visits to the Scone Equine Hospital, Racing Australia Genetics Research Centre and visiting two world-class thoroughbred stud farms. The Program will connect the students to discover and learn about the Thoroughbred industry employers and employees and highlights the career pathways open to them and provide immeasurable networking opportunities to all who participate.
