A thread: Really looking forward to #ARA2022, I'll be hosting a discussion with regards to conservation training and qualifications, we'll be looking at recent and current challenges in qualifying, training and CPD within the profession and we'd love some input from colleagues!

Accessible training for all? How can the ARA help us to advocate for our profession? How can we ensure diversity and inclusion within the sector and how can we support students and trainees wanting to get into the profession? We want to hear from employers too!

What are employers looking for when recruiting conservation staff? What do people want and need and how can we help each other? If you're at conference please get involved in the discussion and if you're not, please comment so we can get the discussion started! #archives
