Agreement Champions Skills of Women
An agreement between Chwarae Teg and Lantra Sector Skills Council has cemented their commitment to work together to encourage businesses and individuals to invest in skills.

The signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) acknowledges the partnership between the two organisations and details an action plan which supports the promotion and delivery of high quality learning and business advice to women across Wales.  The joint aim is to improve business performance and further develop Wales’ professional female workforce.

Lantra’s National Director for Wales, Kevin Thomas, said:  “Lantra is pleased to have signed this agreement with Chwarae Teg as it demonstrates our commitment to support women in business in Wales to improve the profitability of their businesses, maximise the potential of their multi-skilled workforces, and progress their own careers.

“Through our joint working, we will encourage businesses and women to have the right skills and practices in place to maximise opportunities and face today’s demands whether this relates to environmental enhancement, animal welfare, specialist heritage skills or biodiversity. Our sector must adopt the latest technology and modern practices, embrace legislative requirements and respond to customers’ changing needs to remain sustainable.”
