The Outdoor Partnership is running an exciting scheme for people aged between 18 – 30 who live in north Wales, with a passion for the outdoors, who are looking to develop their skills and qualifications.

 

A bit of background
Delivered in the heart of Eryri,  the Trainee scheme is run by our Training Officer, Ailish Roberts. With over 60 young people having previously been through or currently on the scheme, it aims to both increase the number of people who are applying for trainee positions at outdoor centres and outdoor businesses in the area, as well as increase the number of Welsh speaking instructors in the field.
