The program provides the best stepping stone to be able to do help farmers, working with a mentor who helps guide and shape your knowledge on how to best deal with those situations. While the notion of being moved around three times within the program is daunting, it also provides the very unique opportunity to learn of a diverse range of people unlike many other programs.

I’m excited to be a graduate agronomist as part of the Elders team. I think this is a fantastic opportunity to grow my agronomic knowledge but to also develop nation-wide connections in agriculture, not only with the other graduates but through the Elders team and events. The graduate program also provides guidance and structure that I know will be valuable in these first years of my career.
