The Kellogg Rural Leaders programme aims to help those with a rural background realise their potential to be tomorrow’s leaders. There are two programmes in 2015 with the scholarship offered for the programme running from 27 January to 3rd July. There are 4 phases to the programme: 3 residential phases totalling 3 weeks full time at Lincoln University and Wellington, and a project on a topic of your own choice, between Phases 1 and 4.
If you are a future rural leader in the Australian Beef Industry whether on farm or further down the supply chain in processing, retail or any other part of the beef industry, the Australia & New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) and the Australian Beef Industry Foundation (ABIF) would like to support you to learn the necessary skills and develop a network to realise your ambitions. You will need to hold an Australian passport.
This programme will secure your place in the future of Australian agribusiness, develop your communication skills and increase your confidence in your negotiation and decision-making ability, develop an understanding of the issues common to all sectors of the rural industry and learn how to investigate and report on an issue.
