WA Leadership Program
Overview
The State Government has allocated $250,000 to the WA Leadership Program each year to provide existing and potential community leaders with opportunities to expand and develop their skills. This links closely with the Government’s Regional Development Policy.
In 2008 / 09 the Department is providing funding to support the following initiatives:
- Local Government Youth Scholarships
Grants are awarded to local governments to provide a 12-month scholarship for a young person living in an area where it is difficult to find employment, to gain valuable experience in a youth or community development role. These scholarships are leading to employment prospects for young people in addition to exposing them to the potential of being young Indigenous leaders within their communities.
- Leadership Western Australia
The program, provides experiential leadership training. It is targeted at the 30/40’s age group with a particular focus on networking and honing skill development. Funding for regional participants and an annual regional field trip has been committed to this program. More than 90 future leaders have benefited from this higher-level leadership training.
- Australian Rural Leadership Program
The Australian Rural Leadership Program prepares leaders to develop sustainable, competitive and profitable industries, in an international context and develop sustainable (economic, social and environmental) communities within rural and regional Australia. Funding is made available to support regional participants in this prestigious program.
