Tesco Future Farmer Foundation is open for candidates to apply to join the next programme.
The Future Farmer Foundation was established in 2014, to help talented, enthusiastic and determined young people make a confident start in agriculture.
Who do you know that fits this bill?
Whether they are looking to take over the management of the family farm, embark on a new venture or enter the industry for the first time.
It is open to anyone:
- Aged 20-35 years old on the 1st October
- From any sector of agriculture, including aquaculture
- Based in the UK & Ireland
- Not in full time education
It is open right across the farming industry. There is no cost to participants and a contribution is made towards the travel expenses of those travelling long distances to participate. So its a great opportunity for young farmers to learn.
Future Farmer Foundation focuses on business management skills, personal development, and understanding of the supply chain.
Participants have the opportunity to gain new skills, be part of a strong group of like minded progressive young farmers, build a network of contacts from across the industry, gain experience in new areas of the supply chain across many sectors.
The programme includes:
- A series of two-day workshops, each repeated at alternate locations across the country, focused on business skills and personal development
- Numerous ‘supply chain events’ held with leading food and farming businesses from every sector
- The opportunity to be matched with a dedicated mentor to guide and challenge
- Further training opportunities external to the core programme
- The opportunity to apply for an international research scholarship in a subject of participant’s choosing
- The opportunity for placements within Tesco suppliers’ businesses
Topics include: understanding farm accounts, succession planning, sustainability, marketing, communications skills, leadership, business planning, among many others. The programme is delivered by leading experts in each discipline from across the industry.
Participants leave the 12 month programme having gained value contacts and formed lasting friendships offering a lifelong support network, the confidence to take responsibility for their business or career, invaluable new skills and knowledge across a broad range of areas.
For further information, and to apply, please visit www.tescofuturefarmerfoundation.com
The deadline for applications is 29th August 2016. Please forward this to another who you think it may suit. A shortlist of candidates will then be invited to interview during September, and 50 successful applicants will join the programme in October 2016.
