Music Victoria in partnership with the Victorian Government has announced the commencement of a new leadership program, 'Cultivate', aimed at mid-career and established women in the Victorian music industry who wish to further their leadership and management skills.

Supported by the Victorian Government, the 'Cultivate' program aims to foster the development of some of the state's key decision makers, business owners, and industry leaders within the music sector, by partnering them up with CEOs, senior role holders and experienced mentors to support and guide the advancement of their careers. Participants will also be engaged in personalised leadership training programs and group, group masterclasses and networking opportunities.

The 'Cultivate' Program is excited to be taking its first-ever applicants for their 2019 pilot program intake.

Music Victoria CEO, Patrick Donovan is thrilled with their involvement in the new program, "Music Victoria's 2015 report Women in the Contemporary Music Industry, which surveyed women in the music industry about barriers to career development, found that 90% of recipients sought more networking opportunities, 51% wanted to attend more seminars and conferences and 45% said they would benefit from mentoring opportunities. Music Victoria is thrilled to partner with the Office for Women on the Cultivate Pilot Program to address these issues and to nurture and develop female music industry professionals.''

So if you identify as female and currently hold leadership or management position in the contemporary music industry then apply today!
