The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) has opened applications for its National Agriculture Leadership Program.
The flagship program provides exclusive opportunities for emerging leaders in the agriculture sector, including mentoring, policy development guidance, and meetings with Parliamentarians.
NFF President David Jochinke said the program is targeted at Australians aged under 35. “The program immerses our participants in the policy and advocacy worlds; they’ll have the opportunity to tour Australian Parliament House and meet with federal politicians and government departments, and be mentored by leading policy experts,” Mr Jochinke said.
Now entering its fifth year, Mr Jochinke said the limited spots in the NALP are always hotly contested.
“I encourage everyone with a passion for ag and an interest in leadership to apply.”
“Applications are only open for a month, so please don’t delay if you’re interested in this fantastic program,” Mr Jochinke said.
Program participants will meet up for a three-day advocacy retreat in Canberra where they’ll be matched with an industry leader and work on a policy project.
The program kicks off February 2025, applications are open until 14 November 2024.
