[Stuart Phillips]

Lantra is looking at the viability of an Apprenticeship Training Agency (ATA) for the landbased sector. The ATA would act as the apprentices employer, and then place the apprentices with businesses. This enables small businesses to take on an apprentice without the issues of PAYE etc. If you want to let Lantra know what you think, follow the link:

I was alreay planning to,, really to bring you up to date with the skills recording tool that Lantra is working on. They will be looking for a couple or companies to pilot it later this year and I thought that you might like to be one of them.
