Green Career Week 4th – 9th November

A green career can be any job, role or occupation that contributes to preserving or restoring the environment and our planet. It can be in any industry, not just those seen as ‘green’.  Green skills can be regarded as skills, attitudes, values and attributes, supported by knowledge to adapt services, processes and procedures to support climate change.  Change is inevitable.
