Applications close shortly for the Australian Grain Leaders Program (AGLP), a leadership program created especially for emerging grain growers and industry professionals.
13 alumni of the AGLP have gone on to grains industry board positions, including current GrainGrowers Chairman Brett Hosking and President of AgForce Grains Board Brendan Taylor.
“The program is the perfect opportunity to take a step off farm and work on your leadership style and professional goals,” said Kaitlin Commins, GrainGrowers General Manager, Leadership and Events.
“104 graduates have gone through the program with the skills acquired enhancing their own personal journey and helping develop their leadership skills so that they return to their local communities as leaders prepared for the future.”
With expert facilitators, access to online learning materials and other bespoke activities, those that take part experience a unique development opportunity. It is also a chance for growers from remote communities to develop their network.
“We had a young grower who was quite isolated and taking part in the program enabled him to form a network in the grains sector that he wouldn’t have had otherwise.” said Commins.
The program is building the leadership of the grains industry to ensure grower voices play a big part in the future direction of the industry.
“The AGLP can help shape your leadership journey. If you know an outstanding young grower, please give them a nudge to apply for the program.” Commins said
