 Land Management And Arboriculture Bootcamp
 This Green Skills Bootcamp is a free 4-week course, funded through the Mayor of London Skills Bootcamp programme. The training will provide you with the skills and expertise you need to gain employment within the green sector.
Working with the Greater London Authority, Lampton GreenSpace 360, Hounslow Highways, and Maydencroft, London Borough of Hounslow has created a curriculum which covers the fundamentals of land management, including one week of work experience and one week of employability training.
The programme is FREE OF CHARGE to learners. Travel and childcare costs are covered. At the end of the bootcamp, attendees that successfully complete the course will be offered guaranteed interviews with employers who are looking to hire new talent.
Land management offers a wide array of career opportunities, all of which will give you the opportunity to work outdoors and in a wide variety of locations.
