Calling all shoots who take on apprentices – we want to hear from you

The Countryside Alliance has been working with a Trailblazer Group, made up of a wide range of employers, to develop a gamekeeping apprenticeship that really works for employers and new gamekeepers. The 'Underkeeper' apprenticeship standard lays out everything an apprentice on this programme will be expected to learn, but we now want to hear from everyone who employs apprentice gamekeepers to make sure it works for them as well. You can find the draft standard here and if you have any comments or feedback please email [email protected] with your shoot name and contact details.

The Countryside Alliance would like to thank all the employers who have contributed to this process so far.
