The Aberdeen Angus Society has launched a new business and leadership course to provide training to sustain the future of the UK’s beef industry.
The four-day course ‘Future Leaders’ is 70% funded by the society and has speakers covering topics such as Leadership and Management, Innovation and Supply Chain and Business Strategy.
The courses are taking place in Lancashire on 9th-10th October and 13th-14th November.
The society's Youth Development Programme has been running since the early 2000s, and more than 5000 young people have benefited from it.
Chief Executive, Barrie Turner said: “We have always been passionate about investing in the future of the beef industry and we believe that harnessing the passion and experience of the young people in agriculture is key to this.
“The Future Leaders course is the next step in our commitment to help support and create our future industry leaders through developing their people's skills.”
Participants on the courses must be aged 20-30 and currently work in the beef industry.
Matthew Rollason, one of the confirmed participants said: “The opportunity to connect with other young people and future leaders across the industry will prove invaluable in the future, in addition to equipping me with new skills to further my future career.”
