The Woolmark Company is active in organising training and management events for woolgrower networks, spreading new, forward-thinking ideas and continuing education and the adoption of best practice.

One of our most successful workshops is the Lifetime Ewe Management course, which focuses on ewe nutrition.

We also support the education of the next generation of Australian woolgrowers with competitions for school and tertiary students. Our annual National Merino Challenge encourages young people in the wool industry to showcase their learnings and expertise, securing the industry’s future.
