By Andrew Lewis, CEO, Allara Global
As CEO of Allara Learning and Allara Global, I am proud to announce our continued support for emerging talent as the Official Training Partner for the Australian Hotelier Future Leaders Scholarship 2025. Renewing our valued collaboration with Australian Hotelier, this initiative underscores our commitment to developing the next generation of leaders within Australia's vital pub sector.
Last year’s applicants truly inspired me with their passion and it reinforced our belief in actively supporting those who will shape hospitality's future. We're excited to partner again with Australian Hotelier and Carlton & United Beverages (CUB) for this important opportunity tied to the 2025 Pub Leaders Summit.
This scholarship targets ambitious individuals in assistant venue manager roles or equivalent specialised positions within Australian pubs, rewarding critical thinking, problem-solving, and industry passion.
Applications for the 2025 Scholarship are now open, and will close at 11:59pm on Monday 9 June 2025. The process involves an application form to fill out, plus a reference from a senior manager. A shortlist of applicants will then advance to the next stage of the judging process, where a short video submission will be required.
The Scholarship application form, and more information on the process, can be found here. For any further enquiries, email Vanessa Cavasinni at vcavasinni@intermedia.com.au.
