The program was developed for young professionals between the ages of 21-29 who work for companies involved in meat and poultry production and processing, or production of animal/poultry feed. As part of the program, selected applicants will receive education and training in each person's respective industry.

A panel of industry professionals will review the applications, and selected program participants will be notified by Nov. 15, 2013. Selected applicants will receive a full, complimentary registration to IPPE, which is scheduled for Jan. 28-30, 2014, in Atlanta.
