TBA’s Stud Start Program Applications Now Open
Thoroughbred Breeders Australia (TBA) has opened applications for its successful Stud Start program. It serves as an entry point for individuals with little or no prior experience to enter the breeding industry.
Fully funded by TBA, Stud Start was launched in 2023 to complement our flagship training program, Fast Track. The program is designed for individuals, particularly those in rural areas, who are seeking a career change, re-entering the workforce, or pursuing a career in thoroughbred breeding.
Successful applicants will embark on a six-week introductory program that combines online learning with an intensive week-long learning experience in Scone, NSW.
During the week in Scone, participants will engage in class-based education and gain hands-on experience with horses, allowing them to apply the knowledge they acquired from the online lessons completed in the previous five weeks. Other activities will include farm visits, guest speakers, and networking opportunities.
By the end of the six-week course, participants will have completed three units of competency, which can contribute to the Certificate III in Horse Breeding, should you decide to pursue this qualification.
The goal is to equip participants with the fundamental skills, knowledge, and connections necessary to take the first steps toward joining Australia’s thriving breeding industry. Approximately 70% of graduates have secured roles within the thoroughbred industry that align with their lifestyles post the program.
Applications for the program are now open and can be accessed via this link, these will close on Friday, June 13th. Successful applicants will start online learning from Monday, June 30th, which continues through to Monday, July 28th.
After the online learning component, students will participate in an intensive course in Scone from Wednesday, July 24th, to Wednesday, August 6th. Accommodation will be provided during the week in Scone, and financial assistance may also be available depending on participants’ travel requirements.
If you have questions about the Stud Start program or other TBA education initiatives, please don’t hesitate to contact me at madison@tbaus.com or 0405 535 436.
