Canada’s agriculture industry contains many sectors – so it’s not surprising that the career offerings for recent grads and professionals of all ages are equally as diverse.
Not only are the career opportunities in agriculture vast, but they are also unique depending on where you decide to hatch your career. Each province has its own resources that meet the needs of certain consumer demands and ultimately contribute to the Canadian economy. Engineers, scientists, business professionals, and labourers are but a small snapshot of what agriculture in Canada has to offer.
It’s Agriculture Week at TalentEgg, and we’ve researched some of the most popular agriculture jobs to give you an idea of what you can expect salary-wise. It is important to note that this list is by no means exhaustive, but it’s a great starting point. Check it out!
