Green skills and Sustainability
The transition away from carbon to full sustainability by 2050 is essential for the future of our society. The collective responsibility is now understood and can be seen in how momentum has been gaining traction across the globe. It is recognised that training providers, employers and learners all have a role to play. The skills system is already changing as a result.
The skills system
The changes required to build thriving sustainable economies are substantial with some jobs reducing, others increasing, and new jobs being created. We will be developing skills to create a more sustainable world.
This qualification is for learners (irrespective of their sector of study) to develop knowledge and understanding of the terms environment, sustainability, climate change and net zero as they relate to a green future. Learners will explore the definitions, categories, components and human and non-human impacts of the environment. Learners will explore the definitions, pillars, actors and green technologies relating to sustainability. They will explore the topics of greenhouse gases, sources, targets and their effects on climate change. Learners will explore the carbon context, carbon footprint as well as national and international policy on net zero.
An initial assessment of each learner should be made before the start of their programme to identify:
if the learner has any specific training needs.
support and guidance they may need when working towards their qualification.
any units they have already completed, or credit they have accumulated which is relevant to the qualification.
the appropriate type and level of qualification.
We recommend that centres provide an induction programme so the learner fully understands the requirements of the qualification, their responsibilities as a learner, and the responsibilities of the centre. This information can be recorded on a learning contract.
