Future Leaders Program

Aiming to create and retain great leaders throughout rail, the ARA Future Leaders Program is a six month program that brings together emerging leaders from throughout the Australasian rail industry.

ARA members are invited to nominate one individual they see as a future leader of our industry to participate in the annual program.

The program is structured over three workshops and includes attendance at multiple networking events, including AusRAIL.

Participants gain a whole of industry picture and an understanding of where the rail industry is headed, complete personality analysis testing and activities to better understand their own individual role as a leader, develop their leadership and management skills, participate in communication and conflict resolution sessions and in groups, complete projects that are pitched to an industry judging panel at the final workshop. The two leading projects then present their pitch as part of the AusRAIL Conference agenda where the audience votes on the winner.
