Future is
Green
Through the Future is Green the overall objective is to deliver a range of activities to upskill the labour force in Green Skills to support the future green economy and provide opportunities for individuals to access and progress within high quality, well-paid jobs.
How we will work with you
Through this project, a range of training programmes will be delivered across key sectors.
We are offering re-training opportunities within the Construction sector, including Retrofit Principles, Introduction to Renewables, and qualifications for Solar and Heat Pump installers. If you're considering a career change or want to upskill in these areas, we would love to hear from you. Similarly, if you are an employer in the sector, we’re keen to work together to enhance your workforce’s green skills.
If you work in the automotive or engineering sectors, we are providing a range of accredited programmes, from Electric Vehicle Awareness to System Repair and Replacement. Whether you're an individual seeking professional development or an employer looking to upskill your team, we’re ready to support your needs.
Green Skills workshops for domestic customers will be available, helping to increase awareness of technology such as Smart Meter systems, insulation, water conservation and energy-efficient practices. If you're interested in learning how to make your home more sustainable, we’re here to help.
The project also offers Carbon Literacy training, aimed at increasing awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of daily activities for individuals and businesses. If you're a business or individual interested in reducing your carbon footprint, we invite you to join these sessions and take meaningful steps towards sustainability.
Our leadership and management provision aims to support businesses across all sectors. If you’re looking to improve productivity and promote sustainable growth within your organisation, we’d love to work with you to deliver leadership training tailored to your needs.
This project is about building partnerships, so whether you are an individual seeking to upskill or a business looking to meet the demands of the green economy, we want to work with you.
If any of these opportunities sound right for you, please reach out to the team for more information.
