6: Apprenticeships in rights of way and access

Apprenticeships have changed enormously in their history and no longer only the remit of manual trades, they've even reached the rights of way and access world and can be a great asset to both employers and employees as a path for in depth training while working. In this episode, we talk to LANTRA about the background to modern apprenticeship, Sparsholt College about their provision of training and to both an apprentice and team leader about how apprenticeship works in practice for maintenance work. In a future episode, we will discuss potential for apprenticeships in definitive map, public path order and enforcement roles.The views of speakers and the presenter are not necessarily those of IPROW.
