| | In the final year of the popular and successful Agriculture and Food Council (AFC) Advanced Leadership and Management Development Program (ALMDP), $75,000 is available for clients to access leadership and management-focused courses, programs and learning opportunities.
.
"ALMDP support is critical for many agri-food clients as it allows them to experience excellent learning opportunities and build greater networks throughout the industry," says Amber Havens, chair of the council's Innovation in Agribusiness Management Fund (IAMF) action team, which oversees ALMDP. "In the six years that this program has been offered, we have invested more than $242,000 in learning opportunities that have assisted approximately 60 clients through personal growth and changing the way they operate their businesses."
ALMDP is a sub-project of IAMF and provides funding to assist Alberta agribusiness managers to develop their skills in the areas of leadership and management. A maximum of $7,500 per year is available for individual applicants to support education and training through eligible courses and programs. Applications are currently being accepted; assistance is provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
The council is a leader in Alberta's agriculture and food industry. It is a unique agri-food industry agent with a vision for Alberta's agriculture and food industry to be competitive, profitable and sustainable in a global environment. To help realize this vision, the council has developed various partnerships with industry and governments. It operates a number of focused programs and initiatives, and is viewed by industry partners as a catalyst for policy discussions on important issues and trends affecting the sector.
