IN OTHER NEWS:
Using this cheeky social media name, The Naked Farmer is a social media movement aiming to break down the difficult conversational barriers that often lay in front of people struggling to speak up on what's going on inside.
By using the liberating combination of nudity and farm work, the Naked Farmer is starting conversations about mental health across Australia and even the world.
The South Australian based farmer started The Naked Farmer in May 2017 which went from a simple Instagram post to a worldwide business.
Mr Brooksby will bring his experience in farming, social media and health to the 2021 Western Victoria Careers Expo to discuss these topics and more.
Mr Brooksby travels Australia capturing images and stories of farmers.
He then uses these images and stories for calendars that raises money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service Rural Mental Health.
The Western Victoria Careers Expo is run by the Wimmera and Southern Mallee Careers Association is country Victoria's largest careers expo.
The expo will use interactive webinars presented by regional, metropolitan and interstate career, industry and course advisors.
As regional areas can be isolated, the career expo aims to provide regional students and jobseekers with a broad range of vocational and course information, as well as career pathways advice in a 'one-stop shop' event in their area.
The expo aims to make available a broad spectrum of careers/jobs role models, especially for those in isolated and remote communities of Western Victoria and to offer current advice regarding qualifications, training and prerequisites, business prospects and vocational opportunities to students, careers-changers, jobseekers and parents.
This is an opportunity for regional students of all kinds to gain insight from many different industry advisors, from tertiary education, farming equipment, health and law.
