Swapping the hum-drum of the nine-to-five for the great outdoors needn’t be a dream – Lantra Sector Skills Council can help show you how to take the next crucial step in finding that fulfilling career and lifestyle.
Over the two days experts will be demonstrating some of the exciting roles available and offering you a chance to try your hand.
On Saturday wielding a pair of scissors will be Claire Hyde, from Classic Canine Cuts Dog Grooming, Andy Kehoe will be gate-making and Mary Zammitt will be giving willow hurdle and garden furniture-making workshop.
On the Sunday Stuart Fry will be displaying the traditional craft of dry stone walling, while getting creative will be florist Sian Davies of Cwtta Inspirations and Julie Robinson, from Beacons Nursery, who will be creating hanging baskets and planters.
These demonstrations and that organised by Diana Lavers of the British Wool Marketing Board, to show shearing sheep elsewhere on the showground Saturday, are jointly funded by Lantra, NIACE Dysgu Cymru and the European Social Fund 2007-2013 via the Welsh Assembly Government.
For those who already have a foot firmly in the sector, Lantra will also be providing a range of business advice and support to help maximise potential.
Lantra can help identify what training you need and find the right training course, with training providers on hand for you to talk to directly. What’s more, farmers and foresters may have the chance to access up to 80% subsided training through the Farming Connect’s Skills Development Programme.
