Eighteen students from the Peninsula School visited the Chisholm Institute Glasshouse today to gain an insight in to the Controlled Environment Horticulture industry, and also look at prospective career pathways in to the industry..
The students were given an overview of the industry and the workings of the climate control and fertigation systems before they donned some appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and entered the crop area.
Here the students saw first hand how the Capsicum and Tomato crops are progressing as well as looking at some of the issues that are currently affecting the crops.
Chisholm will be offering the Certificate 2 Production Horticulture course as a VET in schools course in 2011, as well as full and part time Certificate Two course . A Certificate 3 and Diploma course will also be offered in 2011.
