You don't have to get your hands dirty if you work at Lantra, but it helps if you enjoy the great outdoors.
The not-for-profit organisation develops training and qualifications for land-based industries in the UK and Ireland. That includes agriculture, forestry, horticulture and the environmental sector. It also provides advice on training and development, career information, and funding to support the delivery of training.
As an industry training board supporting agriculture and commercial horticulture, the ATB helped establish employer-led training groups, developed vocational training programmes, and an extensive instructor delivery network with the aim of improving the competence and skills levels of farmers and growers across the UK.
Once known as a sector skills council, Lantra is located in Coventry, Builth Wells, and Perth. The organisation works with training providers and instructor partners to deliver its courses, of which there are more than 350.
Providers run specialist, accredited courses with the support of the organisation's network of skilled instructors and assessors. And Instructors play a hands-on role in delivering the skills, training and qualifications required.
Continuing its efforts to give back to the community, Lantra encouraged employees to take an extra day’s holiday to support a local charity or initative through volunteering. The organisation's social committee also encouraged employees to donate the money they would usually spend on Christmas cards for colleagues and Secret Santa to their local food bank or homeless shelter.
