Summary

The MLA Education Pipeline Review (MLAEPR) was commissioned by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) to ensure that adequate numbers of scientists will be available to conduct the necessary Research Development and Extension (RD&E). Without an adequate supply of scientists, MLA cannot meet the objectives of the Meat industry Strategic Plan. Currently MLA invests over one million dollars annually on the education pipeline. In addition MLA supports undergraduate students, post graduate students and developing scientists in many projects.
