🌿 The Green Careers Crisis 🚀 it's vital to address the skills gap and capacity issues plaguing our sector. Graduates enter the field full of passion but often find their academic knowledge falls short of practical application. These gaps in technical field skills and knowledge on Biodiversity Net Gain need urgent attention. At JSM Associates, we understand the importance of a hands-on approach to overcoming these challenges. We actively work to align academic pathways with industry needs, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the roles they aspire to. By integrating industry experts into education and advocating for curriculum updates, we can inspire students early on and prepare them better for the demands of green careers. We must also focus on retaining talent by offering robust support and ongoing professional development. Creating a positive and realistic depiction of what green jobs entail can help new and existing staff stay passionate and engaged. Let's work together to transform these challenges into opportunities for growth and sustainability. Let's connect and discuss how we can foster a thriving green careers sector. 📧 jeremy@jsm-associates.co.uk 📞 07814 002240 #GreenCareers #Sustainability #EnvironmentalJobs

Green careers should be for everyone. That is what Groundwork aspired to showcase with the #NewToNature programme; championing that young people from all backgrounds should be encouraged and supported to work in the green sector, to be a #ForceOfNature. Being able to influence positive change isn't something that should apply only to a certain type of job that only a certain type of person is suited to. Yes, green jobs are rangers and ecologists doing on-the-ground work, but they are also: - finance managers promoting #GreenFinance - engineers designing energy or water efficient products - retail buyers considering a product's #CarbonFootprint ...and so many more. You can be a force of nature. Not sure how a green career integrates with your sector?

Green Careers Week takes place between November 4 and 9. It's designed to promote careers in green industries and to drive up aspirations, especially for young people. Of course, this fits perfectly within my own business model. The Spark Group exists to promote a new green workforce and to work with schools and colleges to help young people to discover their spark. Spark Projects aim to create a new workforce to support green industries in my home area of North Staffordshire and across the UK. The government's Net Zero Strategy has an ambition to support 440,000 green jobs by 2030. The Green Alliance say "young people are enthusiastic about working in green jobs, viewing them as modern, high skilled and interesting. "The net zero transition will create demand for new jobs and skills across all sectors of the UK economy. New entrants to the green jobs market will be needed to meet this demand." In addition, there are there are currently 794,000 young people between the ages of 16 and 24 not in education, employment or training (NEET), according to the Office of National Statistics. My vision involves supporting these youngsters into careers - are you ready to join me in the green revolution? #ecofriendly #greencareers #jobs
