FTSUK operates a hub and spoke model, with the first hub based in Southwest Scotland. This hub acts as a coordinating centre, working with training providers, employers and industry partners to deliver training where it is needed most. Southwest Scotland was chosen for the pilot programmes because of its strong forestry sector, diverse woodland types and access to a wide range of operational sites that provide valuable real-world learning opportunities. As FTSUK develops, the aim is to expand this network of hubs and delivery locations across all four UK nations, improving access to high-quality, industry-led forestry training throughout the UK.
