🌳 Ever thought about a career in forestry? You might be surprised who it’s for… 🌳

As part of our CJS Focus on Apprenticeships series for #ApprenticeshipWeek, we’re taking a closer look at the Professional Forester Apprenticeship from Forestry Commission, run in partnership with the University of Cumbria.

This isn’t just for school leavers or graduates. People on the programme include a former postal worker, someone from the NHS and even an art student – showing that forestry is a great option for career changers too.

🌱 Why now?

The UK has committed to increasing tree cover from 14.5% to 16.5% by 2050, and that means we need more people planting trees, managing woodlands and caring for our forests.

At the moment, around 19,000 people work in core forestry roles – but to meet future demand, the sector needs to bring in about 600 new people every year.

Forestry isn’t just hands-on work either. There are roles in research, policy, climate resilience and public engagement – all helping ensure our future forests benefit wildlife, the climate, communities and the economy.

🌲 The Forestry Sector Skills Plan 2025–2035 highlights apprenticeships as a key way to bring new people into the sector and support employers to grow the workforce.

👉 Find out more about the apprenticeship and hear from people already working in forestry in our latest article:

Careers guidance after 16: Supporting confident, informed decisions

Post-16 is a time of significant choice and pressure. Young people are expected to make decisions about education, training or employment while navigating exams, independence and future expectations.

These conversations help young people weigh up pathways, understand progression routes and feel more confident about their decisions.

The National Horseracing College, based near Doncaster, South Yorkshire ensures students have the equine skills, practical knowledge and experience to be employed as a racing groom. Upon successful completion of the Foundation Course, students are secured a six-week work placement in a racing stable. This placement can be in whatever part of the UK the student desires.

Upon successful completion of the work placement, students are secured employment as a racing groom in yards the length and breadth of the country, where they commence a Level 2 Apprenticeship in Racehorse Care. The apprenticeship is completed at their place of work with a member of our Roving Tutor team visiting every four-weeks. Typically, accommodation is provided alongside employment.

The residential Foundation Course is the starting point. Tuition is free for UK residents. Accommodation and meals for the duration of the course are provided at a cost of £500.00. Bursaries are available. Absolutely no experience with horses or academic qualifications are required. Young people can commence the Foundation Course after they have completed Year 11. There is no upper age limit. Open Mornings, including virtual events, are held each month.
