The Institute of Conservation (Icon) has secured a second year of funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation to deliver its National Conservation Education and Skills Strategy (NCESS).
The NCESS aims to develop a conservation workforce with diverse skills, with more people gaining accredited qualifications.
Icon chief executive Alison Richmond said: “The strategy is about bringing together a wide group of stakeholders – educators, employers and funders – to collaborate on improving the knowledge and skills of the people who care for and work on our heritage.
“By working together, we will be able to open up entry routes to the conservation profession and create sustainable career paths for lifelong learning.”
