Lantra, with the support of key industry organisations, is undertaking research to more fully understand the size and the scope of the UK's equine industry.
This research is multi-tiered, including a telephone interview for businesses and employers and an online employee survey. In addition, there will likely be a number of tailored events, such as focus groups.
For this research, Lantra plans:
- To identify employment numbers for businesses working within the equine industry
- To identify the extent of employment vacancies
- To identify key workforce characteristics
- To identify the number of individuals working within specific job roles
- To identify the levels of skills gaps and the levels of training that are undertaken within the equine industry
- To identify how employment numbers have and will change in the future.
