About GoLandscape

GoLandscape aims to provide a wealth of inspiring and educational career advice on landscaping jobs to young people. The advice will be mapped to the UK Government's curriculum for the land-based sector and linked to the Trailblazer Apprenticeship Standards. BALI has played an instrumental part in lobbying at a parliamentary level and establishing Trailblazer Apprenticeship Standards as recognised qualifications in land-based colleges throughout the country. GoLandscape will begin by assembling a collection of real-life stories and exemplar projects from leading landscape industry organisations and individuals. These will present practical examples of what it's actually like to work in the industry that we are all so proud of, and demonstrate why landscaping jobs offer serious career paths that provide opportunities for everyone. GoLandscape has three main objectives: 1. To inspire Landscaping is a serious career path with numerous opportunities. Whether it’s Commercial or Domestic landscaping jobs, Grounds Maintenance, or careers in Landscape Architecture and Design, landscaping can provide fantastic careers for everyone. The industry needs people of various skill levels, from practical and vocational roles all the way up to degree level, regardless of age, gender, or background. Landscaping careers are fun, rewarding, and it’s a prestigious industry to work within. 2. To encourage retention We want to introduce landscaping jobs to school children at careers events, raising the profile of the industry, not just within our colleges, but also within our industry. Beyond bringing in new recruits, GoLandscape will encourage industry and colleges to reconnect, so they can deliver the correct training to students, which will boost their confidence before they enter the working world. 3. Addressing landscaping industry issues If school children are inspired to go into further education to study landscaping, and the colleges are meeting the demands of the industry by training students to the highest standards, this will lead to greater student and staff retention which will ultimately close the skills gap in the landscaping sector.
