🛠️ Craven College - Building the Future Construction Facilities

I really enjoyed visiting @cravencollege and seeing the fantastic new construction facilities at the Auction Mart Campus. It was great to meet students who are so enthusiastic about their learning and proud of the work they’re producing.

These new facilities will make a real difference for young people locally, helping them develop the skills and confidence they need for future careers in construction and the skilled trades.

Many thanks to Anita Lall, her leadership team, and all the staff for the vital work they do to support young people and our local community.

🎉 I was pleased to join @cravencollege's 200‑year celebrations last week. From powering the mills two centuries ago to meeting the diverse needs of our modern economy, the College continues to deliver outstanding practical learning. At the heart of it all: exceptional students & staff. Here’s to the next century!

[Moorland Association @MoorlandAssoc]

We are proud to sponsor the Gamekeeper Countryside Worker Apprenticeship Scheme at @cravencollege - an important step in supporting the next generation of land managers and ensuring the future of responsible moorland stewardship.

Our members care for over a million acres of the English uplands. That care depends on skilled individuals who understand the unique balance between conservation, wildlife management, and rural livelihoods. This apprenticeship scheme provides exactly that - a practical, hands-on route into gamekeeping and countryside management, focused on the real-world challenges of working in the uplands.

The course equips young apprentices with essential skills in habitat maintenance, predator control, pest and deer management, and the safe use of countryside tools and machinery - all vital for protecting wildlife, reducing wildfire risk, and preserving our rural heritage.

We are delighted to work with Craven College to help expand the programme, improve resources, and raise awareness of career opportunities in land-based industries. As Danielle Fox, Head of Land-based Studies at the college, rightly said: “This partnership reinforces the importance of practical, conservation-led land management and the value of traditional rural skills.”

At the Moorland Association, we know that investing in young people is investing in the long-term future of our moorlands. Skilled gamekeepers are vital to safeguarding biodiversity, tackling invasive species, and managing landscapes shaped by generations of experience and environmental knowledge.

Find out more about the course on the Craven College website.
