Lantra manages the Skills Development Programme, on behalf of the Welsh Government Assembly's Farming Connect Service. The programme aims to benefit over 4,500 people working in farm or forestry businesses during its current three-year contract.
Through the programme:
-
Lantra works with eligible Welsh farming and forestry families to help them access approved accredited training that is suited to their needs – whether it brings practical benefits or helps satisfy regulatory obligations
-
Lantra’s three regionally-based Skills Co-ordinators can undertake skills assessments to identify the knowledge and skills gaps of people and businesses
-
Most businesses registered with Farming Connect will benefit from 80 per cent funding.
The training will be provided by colleges and training providers approved to deliver funded courses through Farming Connect.
