GET SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR CAREER - GENERATE MENTORING PROGRAM
Like the glorious mullet, an iconic Australian commitment to bridge the gap between professional and fun, Parks & Leisure Australia are committed to the development of our new professionals and emerging leaders, but in engaging and fun ways! The PLA Generate Mentoring Program is an exciting new initiative, designed to provide a network for up and coming go-getters to connect, learn and grow in the parks and leisure industry
As does the mullet, the program combines professional and enjoyable, and is made up of four tiers. Each of the tiers seeks to facilitate strong mentorship by connecting Generate members with industry leaders.
Registrations for the mentoring program have now closed – the next round of applications will open in June 2024.
