Agriculture in the Classroom-Manitoba (AITC-M) has announced a new partnership with Enns Brothers and Greenvalley Equipment (GVE), who have teamed up to provide significant financial support for AITC-M’s Agriculture Career Exploration (ACE) program. Over three years, the combined $75,000 investment will enable AITC-M to expand career programming across Manitoba, empowering thousands of students to discover rewarding careers in the agriculture sector.
As one of Manitoba’s largest industries, agriculture offers a wide range of career opportunities in fields such as engineering, heavy machinery, science, technology, and digital agriculture. The funding from Enns Brothers and GVE will ensure that students across the province have access to vital information about careers in these fields and others vital to our agriculture industry’s success.
“We are deeply grateful to Enns Brothers and Greenvalley Equipment for partnering to support our career programs,” said Katharine Cherewyk, Executive Director of AITC-M. “Their collaboration amplifies their investment and exemplifies the spirit of partnership that drives Manitoba’s agriculture industry forward. This support will significantly enhance our ability to reach more students, inspiring them to explore the dynamic and rewarding careers available in agriculture and related sectors.”
Powered by this new partnership, AITC-M will deliver enhanced career fairs and classroom programs to thousands of students annually, develop new virtual classroom resources, and provide educators with professional development days.
“At Enns Brothers and Greenvalley Equipment, we joined forces to maximize our impact, understanding that a strong investment is essential to secure the future of Manitoba’s agriculture workforce,” says Ray Bouchard, President and CEO of Enns Brothers. “Our multi-year donation provides AITC-M with the funding stability it needs to expand crucial career programs like its EngAGed Career Fairs, which bring agriculture careers to the forefront for middle and high school students. We’re proud to stand with AITC-M in their mission to inspire young minds.”
