FE Colleges Launch Sustainable Skills Revolution 🌳

As we look to build a more sustainable future, it has become increasingly clear that green skills will be essential for the next generation to thrive. That's why it's so important that we provide green skills training in a further education setting, particularly in the UK.

As we look to build a more sustainable future, it has become increasingly clear that green skills will be essential for the next generation to thrive. That's why it's so important that we provide green skills training in a further education setting, particularly in the UK.

There are several reasons why green skills training is so crucial. For one, the job market is shifting, with more and more industries looking for employees with sustainability skills. Whether it's understanding renewable energy technology, implementing circular economy practices or managing green supply chains, the demand for green skills is only going to increase.

Furthermore, as the UK transitions to a net-zero emissions economy, we need a workforce that is equipped to meet the challenges and opportunities associated with this transition. That means providing training that develops the technical and interpersonal skills necessary to succeed.

But beyond the economic implications, providing green skills training in further education can also help build a more sustainable society. By instilling sustainable practices in our young people, we can create a culture that values and prioritises sustainability in all aspects of life.

It’s fantastic to see that sustainable skills revolution has started at EKC Group, MidKent College and North Kent College.

So let's make green skills training a priority in FE. By doing so, we can equip the next generation with the skills necessary to build a more sustainable future.
