Pershore College, the 60-hectare campus specialising in Horticulture, Animal & People Care, launches an inspiring forum for Horticulture employers. The college has an admirable 70 years of experience, training those in the Horticulture sector. The forum is designed to provide insight into the current employability gaps, whilst discussing what support the college can offer to help. Pershore College, which is part of the WCG, offers a wide range of courses at all levels, from apprenticeships and degree programmes to part-time RHS courses.
Attendees will be given a tour of the college facilities whilst networking with those in the industry, including growers, arborists, landscapers and nursery owners. You will find MorePeople there too! It is important to connect with people in the industry to outline potential struggles, especially in an ever-evolving industry.
We caught up with Josh Egan-Wyer, Head of Horticulture, Curriculum & Commercial at Pershore College. He explains that “we want people from all sectors of the Horticultural Industry to attend as we want to be able to train the horticulturists of the future to fit the demands of the industry. We also want to develop bespoke training courses, backed by industry, to allow them to upskill & meet the challenges we face, challenges that are forever changing too”.
"We are offering this training to help fill the skills gaps that you may already have within this industry, so why not help shape these keen recruits to ensure they meet the needs of your business in the future & encourage them to be the best they can be!"
