Closing date for Scottish aquaculture competition looms 06 December, 2007 -
Organised by Lantra, the Sector Skills Council, the ‘Aquaculture Learner of the Year’ award will recognise and reward outstanding learners in the sector at a ceremony in February 2008. Local employers and training providers are being urged to nominate employees and students who have shown outstanding commitment to training, overcome the odds to succeed or have inspired others through their hard work and determination. The closing date for the competition has been extended to December 14. Commenting, Lantra’s National Director for Scotland, William Fergusson said: “The award is the best platform for raising awareness of the many talented and committed employees and students working in aquaculture. “Attracting high calibre new entrants is vital for the future growth of the sector. To do this, we must promote the many exciting career and training opportunities that are available.” Sid Patten, Chief Executive of the trade body Scottish Salmon Producers’ Organisation (SSPO), added: “The hunt for the top aquaculture learner is a wonderful opportunity for companies to increase motivation in their already hard-working employees. “The top aquaculture learner could be a comparatively new recruit to the industry or someone who has taken their skills to the next level through on-the-job training offered by their company.” Winners and finalists will be selected by a panel of independent judges. The ‘Aquaculture Learner of the Year’ will then compete with 14 other title winners for the overall title of ‘Scottish Land-based Learner of the Year’. Other prize winners who will be competing for the top prize include the ‘Higher Education Leaner of the Year’ and the ‘Modern Apprentice of the Year’.
