The keynote address, provided by Casey English, FSQA supervisor for Cobb Genetics and a former College Student Career Program participant, gave a fresh perspective on poultry industry careers. Urging students to 'find your why,' English emphasised the importance of the poultry industry in feeding the expanding world population.

English reassured attendees that there are many valid reasons to join the industry and work in different roles. He also emphasised that it is okay for motivations and roles to change over time. Following his address, English opened the floor for questions and provided several answers to students.

The College Student Career Program continues to be an efficient and effective way for the poultry industry to find the leaders of the future and has played a vital role in numerous companies' hiring process for many years. It is the premier career event of its kind for students seeking professions in the poultry industry.
