Traineeships

TRAINEESHIPS

On-farm traineeships, where new entrants work alongside an experienced farmer, grower or forester for one or two seasons, are an important entry route into land-based work and play the role of an informal apprenticeship for many people.

We are working with members offering traineeships to improve the coherence of training provided and to group members in the same area together to provide collective delivery of theoretical elements to organise farm visits and exchanges. By doing this we aim to improve the training experience and ensure that the quality of training is high.

Information about the traineeship scheme will be accessible to LWA members as they become available.

Our guide to setting up an on-farm traineeship can be found here.
