About the position

At Berga, it is never far from the classroom to practical work. Our school is located on a large farm and has an agricultural operation with crops, animals, machinery, and forest.

Our agricultural education is growing and has a high demand. The education is designed in consultation with leading players in agriculture and prepares students for a future industry while providing them with basic qualifications for further studies at university. During the students' three years at the school, they learn to run a farm with crops, animals, and machinery. The school offers everything students need for a broad and solid education in agriculture. The education focuses on animals, nature, technology, and sustainable development, and students learn everything from how to repair a tractor to which feed is best for a calf.
