“There’s a significant benefit to New Zealand agribusiness from encouraging young emerging leaders having international experience in the market place at an early stage in their careers,” Brook said.
“This is an outstanding opportunity to place star performers in a chosen international market place for a sufficient time to develop their understanding and skills in customer perspectives and the market-end of the value chain.”
Up to $50,000 will be available for each in-market immersion programme internship, which could last from six to 12 months.
“When someone goes to live and work in the market and really gets to grips with the culture they get a different perspective, and it does take time.”
The programme is targeted at attracting and retaining high-achieving individuals who have identified potential.
“They will bring this experience back to your business, giving you a level of insight into your customers and market that you’ve never had before,” Brook said.
Applications will be accepted throughout 2016. Click here for more programme details.
