What is it like to work inside the glasshouse?
We met Jarek and Marcin, a supervisor and a manager at Berry Farming to find out what their days in the glasshouses look like and why they value working there.
There are formal routes into working in horticulture, such as apprenticeships, (find out more about the crop technician apprenticeship) and T Levels and less formal progression routes where individuals progress following on-the-job experience.
Our guide to apprenticeships in farming and growing explains what apprenticeships involve and lists organisations near you that are ready to help you start one.
What would you like in a career?
Asking yourself some questions about the things you enjoy and whether you'd like to work in farming or growing can help you identify new opportunities you maybe hadn't previously considered.
Do you enjoy problem solving, attention to detail, being part of a team and being around plants? These personal attributes are all crucial to successful careers in the soft fruit sector!
A career you can develop
The soft fruit sector offers a wealth of opportunities for individuals who want to further develop their skills, responsibilities and roles, with plenty of options to specialise later.
Find out more about this on the next step of your experience, as you meet Production Manager Marcin Poliwka.
