SLN is working with East Sussex College Group to provide CEIAG expertise for learners looking for careers in sustainability and net zero. This is part of the Greener Sussex initiative. We have developed a database outlining courses leading to jobs in the green sector, which is available here.   

We have also used the research we link to on this page to inform our work in this area.  In particular the Green Job Taskforce which states: All levels of government, the education sector, industry, and unions, must therefore work together to address these longer-term skills gaps to ensure we are building lifelong pathways into good green careers.

To address future and current skills gaps, the skills, knowledge, and behaviours required for people to move into green jobs should be embedded into the curricula of relevant subjects at all stages in the learning cycle. Developing curricula to reinforce both specialist and transferable skills, aligning existing training systems and capacities, and training people in green skills will all take time, and there will be a lag in the skills pipeline from the time the investment is made. It is vital that action to scale up existing capacity and develop new programmes is both immediate and ambitious.
