Understand links to green skills and careers

Green careers are on the rise, and across all sectors enhanced green skills play a vital role in driving the transition to a more sustainable future. Look at how your setting can better equip learners to develop these essential skills.

Audit the local green careers landscape

Research the local availability and demand of jobs related to sustainability and the environment. Understand green skills that are in demand, so you can link these to learning and educational activities at your setting.

Survey parents as part of your green skills and careers audit

Once you’ve completed an audit of your local green careers landscape, develop an understanding of your parent body’s perceptions about green skills and careers. This will help you understand parental attitudes towards sustainability, unlock barriers, identify potential areas for collaboration or support, and foster community engagement in green initiatives.
