The Victorian Government is inviting women from country Victoria to build their leadership skills, with the 2021 Victorian Rural Women’s Leadership and Mentoring Program now open.
Minister for Agriculture and Member for Northern Victoria, Jaclyn Symes is encouraging rural Victorian women involved in agriculture or the agricultural supply chain to apply for this year’s intake, with 14 funded places on established leadership courses starting later this year and early in 2021.
“Victoria’s resilient and innovative rural women are at the forefront of driving change across Australia. These programs will enable them to hone their skills and to connect with other passionate advocates for country Victoria.” said Ms Symes.
The government has provided $500,000 funding to the Victorian Rural Women’s Network to support the program, which has so far provided 24 rural women with professional leadership training.
The Leadership Program partners with four established leadership training providers delivering highly regarded programs suitable for emerging and experienced leaders.
Applications are now open for funded places on the 2020 Women’s Leadership Program as well as for the 2021 intake of The Observership Program and Williamson Leadership Program.
