Mountain Training England’s Skills and Training Fund supports people from ethnically diverse backgrounds who face barriers to participation are therefore significantly under-represented and less engaged with all Mountain Training awards, skills and courses. Empowering more independent walkers and climbers from these groups is in line with our vision:
To promote a diverse and active outdoor society, supported by inspirational leaders, instructors and coaches.
The 2021 Skills and Training Fund is available to individuals, Strategic Partners and approved MTE course Providers enabling people from ethnically diverse backgrounds who are currently under-represented among our candidates to benefit from Mountain Training England’s skills and leadership schemes.
