Career Information Available at the Royal Welsh Show
Industry experts, training providers and Welsh Assembly Government representatives are working together so that the show’s visitors can easily find out about the training and support that is available, or ask about the many rewarding environmental and land-based careers.
Among those joining Lantra will be Lantra Skills Ambassador and British Veterinary Nursing Senior Vice President Bonny Millar CVT(USA) RVN REVN MBVNA and a team of veterinary nursing volunteers.
Bonny says, “This event is one of Europe’s largest agricultural shows and generally attracts over 200,000 visitors. As it falls within National Veterinary Nursing Week this year it offers us a great opportunity to speak to the public so they can have a greater understanding of the role of the modern veterinary nurse and how much the profession has grown over the years.
“We will also be explaining health checks on horses are carried out to assess a horse’s condition prior to purchase or to spot early on if a change of routine or veterinary help is required.”
Kevin Thomas, Lantra Sector Skills Council’s National Director for Wales, says, “Research following the last recession showed that businesses investing in training were two and half times more likely to succeed. We will be on hand to point all businesses in the right direction to equip themselves with highly motivated, well-trained staff capable of raising productivity and controlling costs effectively.”
