About APRILs Industry Placement Program:
In addition to Education and Training awards, APRIL helps keep talented graduates within the industry through the Industry Placement Program (IPP) Award scheme. The successful business applicant will receive $90,000 over the first 2 years of a 3-year agreement with APRIL to help cover salary and other costs associated with training an Awardee for the 3 years.
The overall aims of the IPP scheme are:
- To retain graduates trained by APRIL, APL, and (or) other relevant organisations, at the Honours and (or) postgraduate level, and attract others, by sponsoring their placement in a commercial pork production organisation or an affiliated business strongly aligned to pork production, in a structured and enhanced development program.
- To attract graduates into the industry with a career interest in pork production while continuing their development and understanding of how research and development, education and training, technology, and extension/adoption can enhance industry competitiveness and success.
This award is only available to APRIL Participant organisations with the rights and benefits applying according to an organisation’s tier of participation.
