The National Council of Wool Selling Brokers Australia (NCWSBA) conducted its second Wool Broker Development Program in late May/early June 2025. AWET provided initial funding to the NCWSBA Wool Broker Development Program for its establishment phase in 2024 and has again provided ongoing support for its operational phase in 2025.
The program aims to provide a learning opportunity for young wool broker participants that includes industry & technical training, as well as personal development components. It is hoped that it will encourage some of the participants to nominate for the Young Wool Broker of the Year Award, this year or in the future.
The program, conducted in Tasmania, Geelong and Melbourne, involved 11 participants who were nominated by their employers AWN, Fox & Lillie Rural, Elders, Nutrien and Westcoast Wools. For further information, go to 2025 Wool Broker Development Program or their website NCWSBA.
