Call for Evidence on forestry careers education in Wales
2 April 2024
Call for evidence and expertise on the delivery of careers education, skills, training and development for agricultural, horticultural and forestry workers in Wales.
The Agricultural Advisory Panel for Wales is an independent body that advises Welsh Ministers on the Agricultural Minimum Wage arrangements for agricultural, horticultural and forestry workers in Wales. It also promotes careers in agriculture, horticulture and forestry, the development of an appropriately skilled workforce and provides additional advice to ministers as required.
The Agricultural Advisory Panel for Wales established its permanent Sub-committee on Skills Development and Training in accordance with the Agricultural Advisory Panel for Wales (Establishment) Order 2016.
One of the areas which the Sub-Committee is to develop is an integrated strategic vision for the delivery of careers education, information, advice and guidance in the agriculture, horticulture and forestry sectors in Wales.
Confor welcomed the opportunity to provide feedback to this consultation. We believe that our forestry industry needs to be a support mechanism as well as creating a good working relationship with the educational sector.
