Help Shape Qualifications
Lantra is calling on environmental and land-based employers to shape the future of vocational qualifications. The Sector Skills Council is urging employers to visit a new website launched this week to raise awareness of a large scale overhaul of sector-based qualifications.
The website provides links for employers to find out more about the reforms process and gives them an opportunity to influence skills strategies for their sector. It includes links to help employers map in-house training to nationally recognised qualifications, work with training providers to develop relevant units that can be taken as part of a nationally recognised qualification and to join forces with other employers in the sector to create high quality skills and training opportunities.
Liz Pridgeon, Qualifications and Curriculum Development Manager at Lantra, said: “We are already successfully working with employers and awarding organisations to develop qualifications that reflect business and occupational requirements. Our experience shows that this joint working is really positive and so we would continue to encourage all environmental and land-based industries to get involved in future developments and this new website is a great place to start.”
