LANCASTER -The Wisconsin Pork Association youth committee is

encouraging Wisconsin college students with a passion for agriculture and interest in the swine

industry to apply for the Pork Mentorship Program. Prior experience in the pork industry is not

required. Applications for the program are being accepted now through December 15, 2019.

The Wisconsin Pork Mentorship Program is designed as a program beginning at the

Association’s Annual Meeting in February and conclude volunteering in the Pork Schoppe at the

Wisconsin State Fair. During the year, selected participants will expand their knowledge of the

swine industry through hands-on experiences and job shadows, involvement in pork industry

programs, and partaking in Wisconsin Pork Association activities. The program, which has a

strong focus on career development, will provide opportunities to network with pork industry

leaders, identify future career goals, and create valuable connections with potential employers.

Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a $500 scholarship to apply

towards their education expenses.

To be considered for the program, applicants must submit a completed application form,

personal résumé, and current college transcript. The program is open to students that are

Wisconsin residents and enrolled full-time at any post-secondary school. The application and

additional program details are available at www.wppa.org/mentorship-program or by contacting

the WPA office at 608-723-7551 or [email protected] All application materials must be

submitted by December 15, 2019.

The Wisconsin Pork Association’s mission is to insure the future success of the Wisconsin pork

industry. WPA represents the interests of the pork industry members with a strong emphasis on

social issues, public and government policies, environment, animal welfare and safety.
