Funded by the DfE, Climate Ambassadors match volunteer climate experts with education settings.
Part of Let’s Go Zero, Climate Action Advisors are independent experts who offer free support for schools, colleges, and nurseries across England.
Improve your green skills and careers offer
Develop a delivery plan in order to structure your climate education and green skills offer. Make sure staff are supported to deliver it with relevant CPD.
Use a structured CPD programme to make sure staff are aware of the current environmentally-focused skills and career opportunities. This is key to developing strategies for the incorporation of green skills into the curriculum and the preparation of learners for future careers in sustainability.
Using your climate education and green skills audit results, develop a plan that sets out how your setting is going to develop and implement your aims and programme for the year. This should tie together all the different work streams and areas of work related to climate education and green skills.
Once you have developed a delivery plan for climate education and green skills, you will need to secure additional resources and budget to enable its ongoing delivery.
Create a sustainability careers plan that provides pathways and opportunities for learners to enter green careers, or join the broader workforce with green skills.
Green skills and careers are those that contribute to preserving or restoring the environment and our planet. It's important to spread the awareness that all future careers will likely need an element of sustainability and green skills embedded into them, in order for us to transition into a lower carbon world.
