Mentoring Program

 

"Preparing Tomorrow's Leaders Today"

Choosing a career path can be difficult. In a world full of occupational options, it is helpful to receive a little guidance along the way. For that reason, the NPPA is extending a helping hand to young adults who are participating in NPPA's Pork Industry Mentoring program, "Preparing Tomorrow's Leader's Today."

The Pork Industry Mentoring Program is a career development program that provides a variety of hands-on experiences that promote leadership and communication skills, ultimately fostering career development.
