The HunterNet Future Leaders Program is uniquely designed to take our region’s emerging professionals to the next level through exposure to industry leading presenters, cross-functional networking, and a competitive scenario-based project experience.

The dynamic workshop sessions invite participants to share their individual experiences across various sectors, and interact directly with industry-leading presenters, allowing the participants to exclusively leverage mutual knowledge. A key aspect of the Program is the major project where the participants form multidisciplinary teams and work within a competitive business environment on a topic relevant to the business world today.

Over the last few years, the Project has seen participants develop realistic and innovative solutions for various contemporary issues such as global export markets, transport networks, and the Hunter’s ‘brain drain’ crisis. During the Project, teams are mentored by industry leading professionals and collectively present to a judging panel consisting of prominent business executives.

This Program allows Hunter businesses to not only invest in the future of their emerging professionals, but safeguard the continued success of their business.

Each year this Program grows from strength to strength, with 2025 Program places already limited! Be part of the Future Leaders history and celebrate 10 years!
