Our aims
We're informing, inspiring and coordinating the industry’s approach to skills to:
- Embed a culture of lifelong learning and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
- Drive greater uptake of training
- Promote agriculture and horticulture as a progressive, professional, and exciting career choice
Why is TIAH needed?
Agriculture and horticulture are undergoing big changes.
For agricultural and horticultural businesses to stay profitable, sustainable, and contribute positively to the environment, it's vital that individuals confirm and enhance their existing skills and acquire new ones.
But the way the industry approaches skills and training is fragmented, so we need some serious change. That's why we're bringing skills and training together, making career development simpler and more accessible.
