Generation Change is a one-day workshop and mentoring programme preparing young women to make an impact in food and fibre.
The primary sector of the future will be a place for new ideas and modern thinking. To get there, we need collaborators, innovators and Kaitiaki for our land, water and wildlife. We need people driven by purpose.
But we get it. As a young woman in tertiary study or training, finding the first step to meaningful work, and making the right connections, can be hard.
That’s why we’re delivering Generation Change – a one-day workshop and ongoing mentoring programme to help you bring your true self to the sector.
It’s about answering the questions that matter. What do you stand for? What does impact mean to you? What’s step one? By connecting with your values, strengths and purpose, you’ll walk forward with the first draft of your career roadmap and one progressive food & fibre leader as a mentor.
On your journey to positive impact in the food & fibre sector, Generation Change is your first step.
‘Generation Change’ connects young women with progressive New Zealanders across the food and fibre sector to cultivate their sense of purpose and ability to make impact. It starts with a one-day workshop for 100 participants, across five sessions:
- Reflecting on you – connecting with your strengths and values.
- Defining what positive impact means to you.
- Planning your first steps towards a life of meaningful work.
- Stories to inspire - personal primary sector journeys and a glimpse into the future of work.
- Gathering allies - connecting with your mentor and networking with progressive people across the sector – from farmers to food system builders, product developers, marketers and more.
There are two dates that the programme will be run:
Christchurch, Tuesday 30th May
Hamilton, Thursday 27th July
