As UK Biodiversity Training Manager, Stephanie’s role supports the core remit of the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity – to support, engage and inspire people to study and record the wildlife in the UK. Over the past 3 years she has been managing the Identification Trainers for the Future project; a HLF funded project through the Skills for the Future programme run in partnership with the National Biodiversity Network Trust and Field Studies Council. Through this project they have developed and delivered 15 year-long work based traineeships based on UK species identification and scientific communication skills. In addition, through this programme they have delivered 62 natural history workshops, involving 33 Museum experts from across Life Sciences which were attended by 172 non-trainee participants. The Centre’s trainees have gone onto careers with Wildlife Trusts, Natural England and RSPB to name a few, as well as coming back to the Museum in various roles. Looking forward, Stephanie is now involved in developing a new training strategy for the AMC for the next 5 years. Through this the museum will be delivering new modes of training in UK natural history, building on the experiences and lessons learnt from the Identification Trainers for the Future project to continue to support people from all backgrounds to develop their interest and knowledge of the fascinating flora and fauna of the UK.
