Project Eden: a groundbreaking opportunity

Project Eden is a brand new structured programme launched by the Dairy Industry to find and develop the leaders of tomorrow. It raises the bar in vocational training, setting standards against which all other programmes across Europe will be judged.

Supported by the National Skills Academy, and by Dairy UK (our industry’s trade body), Project Eden asks you to work at Robert Wiseman Dairies and to study at Reaseheath College in Cheshire. This means staying at Reaseheath for 12 to 18 weeks a year across three years, starting on September 14th 2009.

Robert Wiseman Dairies pays your salary for the duration of your studies as you learn vital new skills to progress in the industry. Expect to cover in-depth the technical and management processes involved in milk production and distribution. You will also learn vital project and financial management skills as well as the leadership and other qualities you need to make your mark in the business.

After you have successfully achieved your Foundation Degree you will have:

discovered a real passion for dairy
developed the skills and knowledge for a long-term career in the industry
benefited firsthand from Reaseheath, the £ multi-million state-of-the-art training Dairy
acquired a Foundation Degree in Dairy Technology in conjunction with Harper Adams University, one of the UK’s most respected food and agriculture learning centres
built an important career network of colleagues and friends
