A new agriculture training program grounded in culture and on-Country learning has begun in Broome, with young people taking part in its first week of activities.

Yawuru — the Traditional Owners of the Broome area and the registered native title body corporate for Yawuru Country — last week launched the Warrmijala Murrgurlayi (Rise Up to Work) Agriculture Program.

Yawuru said participants were "stepping into a journey grounded in culture, Country and mabu liyan", a Yawuru concept referring to good spirit, and emotional balance.

"Our young people came together to learn, connect and grow through a powerful first week of cultural immersion, wellbeing activities and first industry exposures," the organisation said.

The program opened with a Smoking Ceremony and Welcome to Country, followed by a Bugarrigarra cultural tour and an on-Country immersion led by Yawuru cultural leaders and local guides.

Yawuru said the activities strengthened "connection to Yawuru Country, stories and identity", describing them as "a reminder that mabu buru and mabu ngarrangunil are central to our learning".

Participants also visited the Roebuck Export Depot and Fresh Produce Group at Roebuck Plains, gaining exposure to agricultural operations as well as local employment opportunities.

Yawuru said the industry visits provided "firsthand insight into agricultural operations, supply chains and local industry opportunities", and were designed to "build confidence and excitement for future training and employment pathways".

The organisation acknowledged the leadership of Bart Pigram, Johani Mamid, Corbin Wiggan Cox and Clive Djiagween, as well as the support of local industry partners.

Congratulating the program's first cohort, Yawuru said each participant had "stepped forward with courage, curiosity and pride".

The Warrmijala Murrgurlayi Agriculture Program is supported by Shell Prelude Joint Venture and the Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.

"A strong start this week grounded in culture, strengthened by community, and guided by Yawuru values," the organisation said.

"Mabu liyan, mabu buru, mabu ngarrangunil — for all, always."
