Andrew Boschert, Eli Magee, and Cole Weinkauf have been selected as the next class of participants in Wisconsin Pork Association’s Pork Mentorship Program. The pork mentorship program, which has a strong focus on career development, is designed to expand students’ knowledge of the swine industry, provide opportunities to network with pork industry leaders, help identify future career goals, and create valuable connections with potential employers.
Andrew Boschert is from Beaver Dam and is a freshman attending Iowa State University studying Animal Science with a minor in Genetics. Eli Magee is from Shawno and is a freshman at the University of WI- River Falls studying Animal Science with an emphasis in Meat Animal Management. Cole Weinkauf is from Waterford and is a freshman attending Iowa State University studying Agricultural Business with a minor in Animal Science.
Now through the end of 2020, Boschert, Magee, and Weinkauf will complete a series of job shadows and attend both state and national pork industry events including World Pork Expo and the Wisconsin State Fair. They will also take part in WPA meetings and complete a special project.
Any individuals or businesses interested in offering job shadow opportunities to the pork mentorship program participants, or would like to become involved in this program in another way, are encouraged to contact the WPA office at 608-723-7551 or email [email protected].
Marshall Schultz says
I/we are SO VERY PROUD of Eli and all of his accomplishments. This is a proud moment in the Magee family, especially for Tabb, Sarah and Eli’s siblings. But, from afar down here in Dallas, TX, we are also busting at the seams with happiness for what this means for Eli. Good things are happening for Eli and his future in the swine industry.
