Adelaide University Agricultural Students Association
STUDENT COMPEDIUM
The SA Division of the Agricultural Institute of Australia (AIA), in partnership with the Adelaide University Agricultural Students Association (AUASA) have a keen focus on supporting the development of students and early career professionals in having an enjoyable, productive and rewarding educational experience, while laying a solid career foundation.
WHAT IS THE COMPENDIUM?
The 2025 Student Compendium is an initiative to collate the breadth of opportunities for students studying primary industries and natural resource management. It aims to assist the next generation of vocational education, training and tertiary students plus secondary school teachers, and careers advisers (and their students) to discover opportunities such as careers, scholarships, internships, graduate programs and training in the primary industries sector.
WHO MAKES THE COMPENDIUM?
The compendium is a resource made for students by students. The fifth edition was made by 6 undergraduate students. Interns for the 2025 Student Compendium, Trinity Manning (Comms and Socials), Stephanie Lokan, Roslyn Thomas (Project Officer) (with Co-Leads: Bruce Hancock andCraig Davis) Rachael Bird, Jordan Norman (PIEFA) and Sasha Gifford have been selected via an expression of interest.
WHO IS AIA?
The Agricultural Institute Australia is the peak industry body for agricultural and natural resource management professionals and AIA is committed to advancing the professional application of science and technology for the sustainable development of agriculture and natural resource management in Australia. The AIA recognises the importance of building capacity within the next generation of agricultural professionals, hence the linkage between the AIA-SA division and AUASA.
