The Next Gen Agriculture Mentorship Program announced the mentees and their paired mentors selected to participate for the 2022-23 fiscal year.
In partnership with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture and the federal government, the Next Gen Agriculture Mentorship program is delivered by Canadian Western Agribition and accepts eight applicants into an 18-month mentorship experience. Mentees are paired with some of the brightest minds and strongest leaders in Canadian agriculture and are exposed to industry knowledge, board and governance training, business education and networking opportunities
The Next Gen Agriculture Mentorship program, now entering its fourth cycle, was established in 2019. Mentees are selected by an advisory committee based on industry involvement, existing skills, interests, abilities, desired outcomes and overall fit for the program.
