Lantra is delighted to be contributing to a major new professional development programme for Further Education staff, delivered through a consortium led by the Association of Colleges and coordinated by the Skills Federation.

This government-funded initiative will strengthen the capability and confidence of teachers and trainers delivering technical and vocational education: including T Levels and emerging V Levels.

As a sector skills body rooted in the land-based and environment industries, Lantra will bring an employer-led perspective, helping ensure teaching reflects current industry standards, technologies and workforce needs.

Our focus will be on supporting Further Education staff to better understand real-world sector requirements, particularly across land-based provision, so learners are equipped with the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to succeed.

This collaboration is a strong example of sector expertise and education coming together, helping to bridge the gap between learning and employment, and strengthening the future workforce.

We look forward to working alongside partners across the consortium to make a meaningful impact for educators, employers and learners alike.

Lantra CEO Nick Juba joined BBC Radio 4's Farming Today programme to discuss our new research highlighting a growing “skills squeeze” in the land-based industries. 🌳

Despite clear job opportunities, too few people are entering the sector - highlighting the need to build a resilient skills system that enables a productive and sustainable land-based economy, which can deliver on national priorities like net zero, biodiversity and food security.

You can hear Nick's interview from 9 minutes in.

Otters aren’t just a feel‑good wildlife moment on your feed, they’re a sign of healthy rivers and thriving ecosystems 🦦

But these habitats don’t stay that way without care. Pressures like pollution and habitat loss continue to impact both wildlife and the land-based industries that depend on them.

Good land management makes the difference:

🌱 Protecting water quality
🌾 Restoring habitats
🌍 Supporting biodiversity

At Lantra, we support the skills behind this, from conservation and land management to working safely around water, helping protect the environments wildlife depends on.

Because when the land thrives, everything thrives!
