Green & Sustainable Futures: Intro to the Green and Sustainable Economy

What's included

This programme addresses the underrepresentation of young people from diverse ethnic heritage in green careers and within the green and sustainability sector, an emerging industry with significant potential but demonstrably lacking diversity.

The Green & Sustainable Careers programme is designed to raise awareness of careers within the sector and provide you with the tools to explore these opportunities. For those looking to kickstart a new career in an ever-growing sector (with some jobs that haven’t even been created yet!), or for those looking to switch careers into an industry you want to learn more about, this programme has something for everyone.

With us, you will:

• Be introduced to the Green and Sustainable Economy.
• Explore various pathways into green careers, including education, work experience, training, and career progression.
• Have access to tailored resources to support you on your career journey.

Who is eligible:

• 16-30 year olds
• Focused on supporting young people within the UK
• Focused on supporting those of diverse ethnic heritage and low socio-economic background

Climate change is shaping the way we live and work. The transition to clean energy is expected to generate 10.3 million net new jobs globally by 2030. This change is already creating lots of opportunities for people to develop and use their skills in the new green economy. By understanding the jargon and sustainability in the workplace you’ll be more likely to make the most of these opportunities as you start your career.
