This project has now ended.
AgriStart has been a pilot project delivered in 2024 by Lantra and funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and supported by Powys County Council.
The aim of the project was to help individuals who live in Powys, aged between 16 and 40, from non farming backgrounds, to become more employable within the land-based sector, by supporting them to complete accredited training courses.
The project has supported 165 training places with learners achieving accredited certification in courses like:
- All terrain vehicles
- Tractor Driving
- Livestock Handling
- Chainsaw courses
The project has helped individuals become more skilled, safer at operating machinery and equipment and making them more employable within agriculture, horticulture and forestry.
