According to Rondônia’s governor, Marcos Rocha, the involvement of students in technical agricultural programs reflects the investments made by the state in workforce training. “Vocational education is expanding across the state, serving urban and rural citizens,” he stated.

“I am in my second year of the Technical Course in Agribusiness because it opens many doors. When there are two candidates for a job, the company favors the one with technical training. In addition to the job market advantage, I am advancing in this field because my family encourages me to invest in agribusiness. My father manages a farm, and my grandparents are dairy farmers. This year’s Rondônia Rural Show is fantastic. I’ve gained knowledge, especially from individuals from other regions. For instance, I discovered an incredibly tasty cacao honey,” he shared.

“I am on my third year in the Technical Course in Animal Science. This program aligns closely with my family’s focus, which is beef cattle ranching. It serves as a foundation for my higher education aspirations. I intend to pursue veterinary medicine. The Rondônia Rural Show Internacional this year provided a larger platform for small producers, and I learned that technology in agriculture is closer than I thought,” he remarked.
