Scotland has highlighted, at this year’s Royal Highland Show (RHS), why it is
fun and rewarding for young people to seek out a career in the land-based food
and drink industries.
Hosting a workshop at the RHS today, Lantra
Scotland demonstrated, to the dozens of school children who attended, why
Scotland’s countryside and employers need an enthusiastic and skilled workforce
coming through the education system and why young people who are hungry for a
job in the land-based sector can really benefit.
The workshop, whose speakers included George Taylor, farmer and MD of Taypack, Modern Apprentice Finlay Ross, Barry Graham, Head Teacher of Wallace Hall Academy and Moira Stalker from the Scottish Food and Drink Federation, highlighted the versatility, variety and interest that awaits those keen to pursue a career in the land-based and food and drink sectors.
