Careers: qualifications and work experience

Supporting young people to make informed choices about their future is an important responsibility for schools and their governing boards. With future green careers on the horizon, this is an area both primary and secondary schools should prioritise.

As a starting point, you could ask:

• Do we incorporate green careers into our careers advice/programme?
• Do we offer GCSEs or apprenticeships that include environmental sustainability content?
• Have we consulted with our pupils on what they see as their future green careers?

Other considerations include:

• Inviting speakers on green careers, particularly if green qualifications are not yet available
• Work experience – could you source experience in green industries?
• Lessons – how can green careers be included in lessons?
