Designed specifically for early career professionals with 5-10 years of industry experience, Roads Australia’s Emerging Leaders Program supports the next generation of talent in the transport sector.
For organisations who want to invest in emerging talent, the program provides early career professionals with unique opportunities to build sector knowledge, grow their professional networks and connect to a professional mentor.
By connecting with industry leaders, potential mentors and peers from diverse backgrounds and roles, emerging leaders gain invaluable insights that broaden their perspectives and enhance their capability to influence and shape Australia’s transport infrastructure into the future.
The Emerging Leaders Program recognises, rewards and profiles the transport sector’s high performers, preparing young professionals for the opportunity to take part in RA’s prestigious Fellowship Program.
What does the Emerging Leaders Program offer?
Access to mentoring opportunities: Through our Emerging Leaders networking events, we connect young professionals with members of RA Fellowship Alumni Network who are available to mentor and support the next generation of talent.
A cross-disciplinary understanding of transport infrastructure sector: By connecting with industry leaders, potential mentors and peers from diverse backgrounds and roles, emerging leaders gain invaluable insights that broaden their perspectives and enhance their capability to influence and shape Australia’s transport infrastructure into the future.
The opportunity to contribute to policy development: We encourage young leaders to help shape a productive, sustainable and inclusive future transport sector. Through our annual Emerging Leaders Forum, we consult the voice of young people in policy development and enable them to learn the skills to collaborate with government as they progress through their careers.
