Applications for the 2025 intake of Rabobank’s business management programs are now open.
Designed for farmers at various career stages, the two available programs — the Executive Development Program for farm business owners or senior managers, and the Farm Managers Program for emerging farmers — aim to provide participants with the latest insights in business management.
Rabobank regional manager Australia and New Zealand Mark Wiessing said more than 1400 primary producers from both sides of the Tasman had participated in the business management programs across the past 25 years.
“The programs are incredibly valuable for primary producers as they allow the opportunity to take a step back from the day-to-day operational side of their businesses and spend time developing strategies to help ensure that their operations remain resilient into the future,” Mr Wiessing said.
“The programs also provide participants with networking opportunities with like-minded primary producers from different sectors across the two countries and, in many cases, relationships started on the programs continue far beyond the completion of the course.
“Previous participants tell us these ongoing relationships are a key benefit of the course and we help to foster these via our regular business management program alumni events across Australia and New Zealand.”
Applications for the two programs close on Monday, March 31.
