VirtRural Careers 2023

The aim of this event is to raise awareness and increase knowledge of the careers available in Scotland’s land-based, aquaculture and environmental conservation sector. The event is open to anyone interested in finding out more about careers in our sector, whether that be career influencers, students, parents or career changers.

Hear directly from those working in the sector about the exciting opportunities on offer.

VirtRural is structured so that you can either stay for the whole event, or attend individual presentations. We hope you will stay for them all though, as we have a great line up!
