Evey chosen as the Angus Foundation AuctionsPlus Cadet
Continuing a multiyear partnership between Angus Australia and AuctionsPlus, New South Wales’ Evey White has been selected as the latest recipient of the Angus Foundation AuctionsPlus Cadetship, taking up the opportunity at Australia’s largest agricultural marketplace.
During her time at AuctionsPlus, Evey will work within the team, immersing herself in the company and its day-to-day operations for four weeks. Through this experience, the cadetship aims to assist Evey in developing a unique understanding of how the business works and the central role of the platform in driving innovation within the agricultural industry.
In addition to her placement with AuctionsPlus, Evey will also participate in a Marcus Oldham Rural Leadership Program. The Rural Leadership Program is an intensive five-day workshop conducted on the college campus at Geelong, Victoria and is recognised as one of the longest running rural leadership programs in the nation.
“We are pleased to announce Evey’s selection as the 2024 Angus Foundation AuctionsPlus cadet and to have her representing Angus Australia as she moves through this opportunity,” said Angus Australia’s Jake Phillips.
“We hope that through this experience Evey is able to investigate areas of the agricultural industry that she has yet to experience and that she utilises her time at AuctionsPlus to grow her professional and personal development through the exposure of working throughout the various roles within their business.
“Furthermore, we hope the opportunity to participate in the Marcus Oldham Rural Leadership Program allows her to build her skills and knowledge in order to better placed to undertake leadership roles in her industry or community, represent her industry or community in decision making forums, and understand and address issues facing rural industries and communities.”
“We are excited to continue our partnership with Angus Australia for another year of the Angus Foundation AuctionsPlus Cadetship Program,” said AuctionsPlus CEO Wyn Snyman.
“Over the past several years, this program has attracted some of the top talent in the industry and remains a leading initiative for cultivating the future of Australian agriculture.
“We have also been fortunate enough to welcome past cadets as permanent members of the AuctionsPlus team. They have become incredible assets to our business, both professionally and culturally,” he said.
“The program perfectly aligns with our commitment to our communities, providing new talent with opportunities to excel and advance their careers in agriculture.”
Following her cadetship experience, Evey will provide a report of time with AuctionsPlus, which be available to read in the Angus Australia Bulletin and on the Angus Australia website.
