The Canadian Cattlemen's Association, the Calgary Stampede, and the International Stockman's Educational Foundation are proud to host Canadian and international students at the 2009 International Livestock Congress - Calgary. This year the congress will be taking up to 25 successful students for the program.
One of our mandates is to reach out to those future leaders. ILC-Calgary is proud to once again sponsor those students that are successful in the application process. The student program will start Wednesday July 8, 2009 with a reception and presentation, and run till Saturday July 11, 2009 following the one day tour, the congress and the leader's forum. We think this is a great opportunity for the students to meet the leaders of the industry, hear the issues in the industry and the experts' perspectives on these issues, meet other students working in the field of agriculture and possibly meet their future employer.
Last year 20 agricultural students from Canada and around world were sponsored to attend the ILC student program. In the past, several program alumni pursued and obtained employment with Alberta's agricultural industry players.

Why does ILC support a student program?
First, to promote agricultural education and training of our industry with our future leaders. We want to continue to engage students to identify the issues in our industry, increase their awareness of these issues and their global impact. Students will have the opportunity to hear, learn from and interact with global agricultural industry experts. We believe this learning experience will encourage these promising young people to continue their career in agriculture.
Second, to create vital exposure for our industry. Our industry today has a high demand for creative solutions. Getting youth involved at this level encourages a new generation with the energy, intellect and creativity we need to keep it sustainable. ILC - Calgary allows the students the opportunity to interact and learn from the agricultural industry professionals attending the conference as speakers, sponsors and stakeholders. Regardless of where the students are from, we are bringing young talent to this province - to experience and have an appreciation for Alberta agriculture and encourage our future agricultural industry leaders.
