Careers Advice for level 3 qualified Arboricultrists

[Mol2015]

Hi,

I am a careers advisor and I am due to go and speak to some current level 3 Arbo students about progression from their course, where to go for work experience, how to get into work in this area as well as working abroad in New Zealand/ Australia. Just wondering if anyone had any advice, links etc I could tell/ show them about or any general advice you might have about getting work in the industry/ where to look for jobs.

Any info/ advice appreciated.

Thanks

The arboricultural association produce a leaflet on career options based on level of qualifications. For L3 you will be looking at tree surgeon, junior tree officer or tree surveyor most likely. In reality the arb industry is so low on skilled/qualified staff (before I offend anyone - there are lots on here but not enough to meet demand generally) you can push for higher if you apply yourself. I landed a job a few years ago which required L5 and at the time I only had L3. CTC and arbjobs.com have opportunities abroad.

 

If you have any problems finding them ping me an email and I will send you the links. Email on my website. Where are the L3 student from?

 

Cheers
