The project "Developing leadership and networking capability in Australian prawn farming" brings several benefits to the Australian Prawn Farmers Association (APFA) and its members. By providing scholarships and sponsorships, the project aims to upskill APFA members and enhance their leadership capabilities. This, in turn, contributes to the industry's human capital development and aligns with the APFA's strategic plan.

Participating in the National Seafood Industry Leadership Program (NSILP) through the provided sponsorship enables APFA members to receive valuable training and knowledge, enhancing their capabilities in strategic planning and business management. The industry as a whole benefits from the increased leadership skills and innovative thinking brought by these trained members.

Furthermore, sponsoring APFA members to attend conferences, workshops, and leadership development programs offers them exposure to the wider Australian seafood industry. This exposure facilitates networking, fosters collaboration, and provides opportunities to discuss industry challenges, share best practices, and plan for the future. The interactions and knowledge gained through these events contribute to the growth and advancement of the prawn farming industry.

Overall, the project promotes leadership development, networking, and knowledge sharing within the Australian prawn farming community, ultimately enhancing the industry's capabilities, innovation, and long-term sustainability.
