State Program

Impact on Citrus

The State Impact on Citrus Leadership Training Program equips participants with the skills, knowledge and confidence to effectively participate at an individual, enterprise and industry level. 

It is a three month Program which includes two sessions, the first in Mildura  (2 days) and the second in Melbourne (one day). In between the sessions participants are resourced to design and implement an industry project with the support of a team and an industry mentor. Project outcomes are presented to mentors, industry, community and political leaders at the final session.

The Program focuses on introducing participants to the industry issues and existing leaders through exposure at an industry business dinner, an informative panel session and also through the mentoring role industry/business leaders participate in specifically designed to support participants for the duration of the Program and beyond.

The specific sessions include;

• understanding your personal style and its impact on others,
• mapping your skills to understand your strengths and those that require further work,
• contributing to meeting outcomes,
• effective communication within your work team,
• presenting a professional image of the industry,
• exploring the characteristics of leadership,
• defining a personal definition of leadership, and
• planning and implementing a project at a farm or regional level.

Impact on Citrus is targeted at producers (growers), although service providers may be included in Programs.
