Mentorship Program

The Mentorship Program is specifically designed to connect new entrants to the agricultural industry with experienced leaders across various fields, including agronomy, cropping, business leadership, and financial management. Mentees are matched with mentors based on their enterprise and the skills they wish to develop to improve their operations and achieve their goals.

 

Through mentoring and guidance, the program enhances the knowledge of young farmers, fostering strong communication between mentors and mentees for a mutually beneficial experience.

 

Our mentors bring expertise in areas like livestock management and budgeting, as well as business management in agriculture.

 

Mentors receive training to build confidence in their communication with mentees, develop effective mentorship strategies, assist in creating action plans, and understand their role and responsibilities. This ensures both personal and professional growth for all participants.

 

Our mentors are reliable, patient, effective communicators, and punctual, driven by a strong passion to support the growth of future leaders in Tasmanian agriculture.

 

The program benefits the industry by:

• Supporting the growth of mentees' enterprises

• Enhancing relationships within the agricultural sector

• Fostering greater knowledge-sharing and collaboration across the industry

 

 

 

Rural Business Tasmania is currently looking for Mentors and Mentees to participate in our Mentorship program.

 

The program has been designed to pass on the skill sets of our current industry leaders to the future leaders of the agricultural sector.

 

We are looking for mentors with a strong business background, as well as, those with specific agricultural skill sets.

​

We are also seeking mentees. To be eligible, mentees should be those who are just starting out in the agricultural space or those who want to increase their skills by learning from a current agricultural leader.
