MLA seeks next generation of beef industry leaders
21/08/2017
The project, which will be known as ‘Building capacity in the Grassfed Beef Industry’, will offer a range of training initiatives for current and aspiring industry leaders. They will be delivered by the Cattle Council of Australia (CCA), on behalf of MLA, over the next two years.
MLA managing director Richard Norton said strong leadership, a skilled workforce and the ability to attract the best and brightest minds to the industry are key ingredients to securing the potential of the Australian red meat and livestock industry.
The initiative addresses two of the key priorities of MLA’s 2016-2020 Strategic Plan: ‘building leadership capability’ and ‘protecting and promoting our industry’.
“The development of capable leaders with a whole of value chain, global perspective will ensure there are highly skilled producers who can continue to represent industry and effectively contribute to policy decisions into the future,” Mr Norton said.
“While developing the skills base of the current generation, this project is also about developing emerging talent and I want to encourage the ‘up-and-comers’ within our industry to seek out these opportunities through the Cattle Council.”
