Applications for the 2025 Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) Graduate Training Program open August 1st 2024.

The AWI Graduate Training Program provides the successful applicant with a thorough and unique understanding of the wool supply chain from fibre to fashion.

The 18-month program starts each year in March and is based primarily at AWI head office in Sydney, where the graduate will gain exposure to all areas of the AWI business including On-Farm Research and development, Processing Innovation and Education Extension, Consultation and Engagement, Global Marketing, Digital, Measurement and Evaluation, and Business Services.

A unique offering as part of this program, are the international rotations. Graduates are given the opportunity to gain global exposure to the wool supply chain overseas, visiting supply chain hubs in Asia and Europe. The program also provides the graduates with ongoing professional development opportunities, to further enhance their career within the industry.

The program is aimed at graduates from a broad selection of disciplines who have a background in or connection with the Australian Wool Industry.

AWI Chief Executive John Roberts says the program has unearthed some fantastic young talent who are now planning long careers in the wool industry.

“Having worked with the past and current graduates, I’ve seen firsthand the value of having such an all-encompassing program within the industry, covering the full supply chain, and the benefits it provides the successful graduates in enhancing their career within wool.

We continue to focus on attracting and retaining the top talent and the program is just one of the mechanisms we have in creating a talent pipeline and future proofing human resources in the industry”.
