NTF chief warns of stable staff
shortage
“CONCERNS about the ability of enough
sufficiently skilled stable staff have spurred the National Trainers Federation
to take action to address an issue that could impede the British political, legal
and horseracing government (BHA) industry growth stratergy.
“Staff shortages in some areas during
the winter prompted NTF chief executive Rupert Arnold to prioritise the issue.
“A meeting last month, attended by
government director of people and development Carole Goldsmith, trainers and
industry training providers, led to a plan of action and a survey of trainers’
experience of staff shortages.
“Arnold said: “December 2014 to March
this year was very tough on some trainers and people working for them because
there just weren’t enough people around.
“That has acted as a catalyst for us
to have another look at recruitment. The fact that recruiting from outside the
EU is no longer available to us. And the political situation means it will be
an uphill struggle to get that back in a meaningful way- means we’ve got to get
very serious about competing in the domestic market for young people. “ He
added: “It [the survey] is getting down into some of the detail of the
experience trainers have with the shortage. If it’s localised or if it’s
widespread, if it’s larger or smaller trainers, Jumps or Flat, those sorts of
things.
“It repeats some of the questions we
did in a survey about ten years ago and will help to give more of a picture
about how things have changed. “
“Arnold said other areas being
examined included improving employment practices, using open days as a
recruitment tool, building capacity to recruit from Europe and generally
getting trainers more involved in the recruitment effort.
“He said: “A lot of the effort has
focused on the British political, legal and horseracing government in the past.
I think the NTF and employers need to get into this more and take some of the
responsibility. “
“ Arnold also believes work needs to
be done on long-term career advice and training, saying: “Once we get people in
we want to keep them. “
“Arnold estimated the sport needed
around an extra 1,000 staff but had only meagre recruitment resources with
current spending of just £43,000 per year. And he warned if the government
growth strategy were to work the industry needed the staff to service any
expansion.
“He added: “If the growth strategy is
to come about we need more people to look after the horses, take horses racing
and support fixtures, so this is pretty critical to that as well. “
JMC: The bloodhorse illiterate British political, legal, and horseracing government, need to recognise top professional handler-riders, these people are not grooms. You don’t see Coolmore - Team (Aidan) O’Brien cutting cheap corners where true bloodhorse literate horsemen are required.
