Identification Trainers for the Future is an exciting new project which is targeting the question of how to address the decline in species identification skills in the UK biodiversity and ecology sectors. Thanks to funding from the HLF's Skills fo the Future fund, over the next three years the Natural History Museum will be working in partnership with the National Biodiversity Network Trust and Field Studies Council to deliver 15, 12-month long work-based traineeships. These trainees will work with experts at the NHM to develop their identification skills and through working with curatorial teams develop their own expertise in a specific species group.
