Do you want to understand more about the climate emergency and build understanding and skills to make a positive difference in Scotland?

We are working with Skills Development Scotland on an exciting programme of training to help with the transition and upskilling required across Scotland’s future and existing workforce to help key sectors respond to the Climate Emergency and transition to a net zero society.
