Official Accredited Training Provider for The Foundation for Cooperation on Vocational, Education and Training and the Labour Market

KAR will be able, and more than willing, to use their unique experience and large range of animal health issues to help students who are following their career path towards working with animals (e.g Veterinary assistants , Animal Carers, Animal Welfare work etc) by offering them internship.

The first students arrived, under this scheme, recently from Holland. They are Imke Achten, Aniek Albers and Fleur Geurts.

The relationship between KAR and the students is working really well – the students have been learning all about animal care in a Rescue Centre setting where they are showing an enthusiastic hands on approach. Their KAR internship will last for 8 weeks and during which time they will be covering all aspects of animal health and care procedures here in the TRNC (including time shadowing other animal health professionals). They will also be attending, with various KAR representatives, an International Animal Welfare Conference, in South Cyprus, which is organised by The Dogs Trust UK.

KAR have always been a firm believer in Education and already run a very successful Education programme visiting local schools in the TRNC. This new internship provider programe is another example of KAR’s commitment to Education.
