Egelabra has a historical commitment to industry training. Jackarooing allows an individual to develop the wide range of skills required in the rural industry.

Young people have come to Egelabra from all over Australia to work, glean experience and learn new skills in an open and diverse environment. During their time as an Egelabra Jackaroo they work with stud livestock learning the necessary animal husbandry skills required for a successful career in agriculture.

Jackaroo Accreditation:

In January 2000 an accreditation program for the Egelabra Jackaroos was established with the support of the Western Institute of TAFE. This training program provides the Jackaroos with the opportunity to have their skills formally recognised through on-the-job assessment.

After two years, Jackaroos may potentially receive a Certificate IV in Agriculture.

Not only does such an experience provide a solid foundation for a Jackaroo's career, it can also play an important role in a young person’s character development.

Past employees have gone on to successful careers in agriculture - from the management of highly-respected companies to successful owner/operators and agriculture economists.
