Grow Our Own, together with Griffith Business Chamber, and our local education providers are proud to host 'Behind the School Gates Tours' in 2025.

These ongoing tours are a FREE initiative to showcase the programs, state of the art facilities and passionate educators supporting the next generation of our local workforce.

From agriculture to construction, STEM to hospitality; we proudly welcome our local business community to explore ‘Behind the School Gates’ of our education providers.

This initiative has been established to continue to bridge the gap between education providers and local industry, and to highlight how students are more ‘career ready’ than ever. Building connection, through knowledge and understanding is a powerful tool in continuing to build our local workforce from this grass roots level.

We look forward to hosting local business and industry within various educational institutions throughout the year.
