This session is part of the Fair Work Festival, highlighting real-world stories that embody the values of Fair Work.
Lantra’s work to improve access to the land-based skills gap has created a model that naturally reflects the Fair Work principles of opportunity, fulfilment, voice, and respect.
Liz will discuss their work, in partnership with CivTech and SkillSeeder, reshaping access to training in Scotland’s nature-based sector.
This session will highlight how inclusive design and digital tools can break down barriers – especially for women in agriculture – and drive a fairer economy.
What You’ll Learn:
- How Lantra identified and responded to hidden barriers in training access, especially for women in rural sectors.
- The role of digital tools like the SkillsHub in making upskilling and reskilling more accessible and equitable.
- How collaboration with government and tech partners (like CivTech and SkillSeeder) enabled innovation without prior digital expertise.
- Why listening to lived experience and adapting delivery models can lead to greater diversity, productivity, and fairness.
- Practical lessons from Lantra’s journey that you can apply to your own organisation’s skills strategy.
