From Monday 4 to Friday 8 November, in celebration of Green Careers Week, the Skills team at Plymouth City Council are inviting local people to take part in activities that will inspire them to get involved in developing the city’s green economy.
Students, career changers, job seekers, or anyone simply interested in the transition to a more sustainable and green economy can sign up to attend free sessions that aim to inspire local people to contribute to a sustainable future, while also exploring the range of green careers available in Plymouth.
Councillor Tom Briars-Delve, Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change, said:
“Whether you're interested in renewable energy, conservation, or sustainable construction, taking part in these Green Careers Week activities can help you to find out how your skills can play a part in a greener, more resilient Plymouth.
“There’s a fantastic line-up of activities with organisations including MVV Plymouth, Fugro, Marine Biological Association, Plymouth Sound National Marine Park, Poole Farm, Secure Forests, the University of Plymouth, Plymouth City Bus and Southwest Highways, and it’s a great chance for people to find out more about the career opportunities that are out there.
“Join us to discover how various sectors in our city are contributing to a sustainable future and explore the range of green careers available!”
