Empowering women leaders for a stronger Aussie horticulture industry
Fruit Growers Tasmania | Monday, 27 November 2017, 2.00pm
Women that are current and emerging leaders in the horticulture industry can now apply for a leadership development scholarship opportunity valued at up to $5,470.
Funded by the Hort Frontiers Leadership Fund (a strategic partnership initiative by Hort Innovation) and Women & Leadership Australia (WLA), the scholarship grants cover up to 60 per cent of the cost of the programs. The funding is specifically designated for women working in all horticulture sectors who are emerging leaders or have mid-level management and leadership experience.
Hort Innovation chief executive John Lloyd said the 2017 Gender Equality Insights report showed that men in agriculture, forestry and fishery industries are paid 18.9 per cent more than women.
“Women in the industry have given us the feedback that they would like additional tools to empower them in what is a male-dominated industry,” he said.
