Are you a teacher, careers advisor or lead looking to find out more about green careers? Kickstart Green Careers Week with us and join our 45-minute webinar to discover more about the green jobs and skills required in the UK today and in the future, and tools that you can use to support future generations through your careers programmes.
What to expect?
Our guest speakers from Nesta will talk about what they’ve learned from analysing millions of job adverts. They’ll provide a picture of the green jobs labour market and how it varies by region, as well as talking about the most in demand green skills and how they’re becoming increasingly important. You’ll also learn how you can use their Green Jobs Explorer tool to explore the greenness of different occupations and more.
This session is run through the Green Careers Hub, a website designed to inspire and inform about green jobs and skills. You’ll find out more about the content available, and we’ll also touch on our future plans and ask you to think about how we could support you further.
These two resources provide you with fantastic tools to be able to support your students in their green career journey.
