Over the two days of the exhibition, the Training, Education and Employment Village sponsored by GoLandscape and the BALI Academy will host a wealth of seminar sessions designed to attract young people and career changers into this exciting sector, as well as aiming to bust some of the myths that surround the industry and show you that landscaping offers a serious and rewarding career path with a host of opportunities.
