The 18-month program starts each year in March and is based primarily at the AWI office in Sydney, where the graduates gain exposure to many areas of the AWI business including On-Farm Research, Processing Innovation and Education Extension, Consultation and Engagement, Global Marketing, Digital, Measurement and Evaluation, and Business Services. Graduates are also given the opportunity to gain global exposure to the wool supply chain through two international rotations. The program also provides the graduates with ongoing professional training and development opportunities, to further enhance their career within the industry.

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