Lantra is the Sector Skills Council for the environmental and land-based sector, representing 17 industries across the whole of the United Kingdom.
Everyone working within these industries, which are grouped into land-management and production, animal health and welfare and environmental industries, plays a hugely important role in the economy. The sector influences the lives of everyone living in the UK today. As a Sector Skills Council, Lantra ensures that people working in the sector have the right skills to carry out their jobs effectively, which in turn improves productivity and performance.
We work:
With businesses – to enhance production and ensure profitability
With employees and volunteers – to improve skills and advance careers
With students, school-leavers and sector newcomers – to help them train for the job they want, and find their way successfully into the sector.
Lantra is licensed by UK government as one of 25 Sector Skills Councils that make up the Skills for Business Network, which identifies and tackles skills gaps for each sector.
