Good Together: by complementing technical expertise with power skills, the opportunities are endless
From grass to glass, find out how women across all aspects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths can apply their technical expertise and their complementary power skills to deliver goodness for generations to come. The opportunities are endless from on farm sustainability, animal science and digital solutions, through to cutting edge laboratory research at our Fonterra Research and Development Centre, exploring robotics and automation across manufacturing systems and leveraging current & future technology to empower our employees & optimise our business for the future.
Join us in person at the Fonterra Auckland head office.
Across the evening you will learn more about Fonterra including an overview of the Early in Careers entry opportunities, hear from a panel of women about their personal experiences, spend some time exploring power skills and how these can enhance your career journey (from job application and beyond) with plenty of time for networking.
