LANSS was proud to be part of the Skills Fair recently held in Barrow Town Hall.

There were 45 organisations represented and as well as jobseekers in attendance, several schools from the local community visited throughout the day so that their students could discover possible career options for the future.

We enjoyed representing the Land and Nature based sector, using our Spin Wheel quiz to get people talking about the wide variety of jobs available in Cumbria as well as local training opportunities.

What would you say in answer to the question "Can you name a protected species in Cumbria?"
