Listen: Mentee shares knowledge gained through program

Mar 31, 2023 | 2:20 PM

Canadian Western Agribition’s Next Gen Mentorship Program was created to support the next generation of agriculture leaders.

The program matches eight young leaders in the agriculture industry with experienced professionals for an 18-month mentorship where they gain skills and experiences to advance their careers.

David McTaggart is one of the mentees in the fourth cohort. He has been partnered with Protein Industries Canada CEO Bill Greuel.

McTaggart said mentees and mentors are matched based on the interview process and what they want to get out of the program.

“I came into this hoping to gain a little bit more insight into the business space in agriculture,” McTaggart said. “I’ve been involved quite a bit on the research and tech transfer side. But when it comes to the reality of farming, business plays a big part of it so I wanted to take advantage of this program to learn about that.”
