Key industries
Goulburn is a large area that covers a cross-section of major industries including agriculture and horticulture (fruit and vegetables, dairy, wool, grain, cattle, olives, eggs and viticulture), forestry, packaging (cans, cardboard, timber, plastics), hospitality and tourism (wineries, recreational fishing, national parks and rivers), retail trade and services, manufacturing (food, forestry products and car components), horse racing and breeding, telecommunications (especially call centre operations), education and research (particularly in the area of food production) and health and community services.
If you are looking for work locally, keep in mind that businesses need to employ people with a range of skills to service their industries - agriculture businesses don't just hire people with agriculture qualifications and skills, just as schools and universities need to fill a lot more jobs than just lecturers and teachers.
