Australian Rural Leadership Program graduate Miles Cockington found the program re-ignited his passion for the sheep industry and has enabled him to turn business ideas into reality
 
Although today he is a passionate advocate for the Australian Merino, less than three years ago Miles Cockington was considering leaving the wool industry, disillusioned about its future. However, his enthusiasm was revived after he gained a place on Course 13 of the Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP). The course not only revived his enthusiasm but has helped him turn business ideas into reality.
