Skills required to run any successful business include people management and an understanding of business financials. Therefore, the MPM Program sessions covers topics such as basic financial margin management, time management, setting priorities, human behaviour and how to work more effectively with other people, especially in difficult situations.

The MPM Program was established in 2008. The Program now boasts a strong alumni network of close to 200 lot feeders and industry professionals, many of whom are now prominent industry leaders.

The Program is run annually over several months, delivered via 4 x 2-day training sessions to a maximum of 12 participants. The group gathers three times in Sydney/Brisbane for the sessions delivered by a range of facilitators; the final session is a feedlot tour, where participants hear from Feedlot Managers who have graduated from the Program.

​

The training is aimed at feedlot employees and industry professionals who aspire to becoming a Manager or gaining a leadership role in their business. It is also valuable for those employees who already manage a number of staff and are looking to gain further skills in the area of people management or perhaps seeking a better understanding of general business management.
