Nominations are now open for Yahoo Academy 2025, a talent development program for the next generation of media and marketing professionals across Australia and Singapore.
The program in Sydney on April 8 and 9 will feature deep-dive workshops led by industry leaders including Rob Campbell, Simone Gupta and Lucio Ribeiro.
These sessions will delve into areas such as practical implementation of AI, strategic and critical thinking, business problem solving and other areas crucial to the future of work.
The experience will culminate in a Pitch-Off, where participants will put their learning into action by tackling a real-world business problem for Australian charity Musicians Making a Difference (MMAD). The winning team will walk away with an all-expenses-paid trip to a major international marketing conference in May, including flights, accommodation and event tickets.
Yahoo AUSEA MD John McNerney said the pace of change in the industry is relentless and it’s more critical than ever now to invest in the next generation of talent.
"Yahoo Academy is about giving rising stars the tools and confidence to lead, adapt and thrive in an evolving workplace," he said.
“Over the years, we’ve seen participants go on to shape the industry in incredible ways and I’m excited to see how this year’s group will rise to the challenge and embrace the opportunity to make their mark.”
Applications are now open to media and marketing professionals with up to seven years of experience across Australia and Singapore. Applications close on February 28 and nominees must be available to attend the workshop in Sydney.
