As sustainability is becoming more and more important, it is essential that we unlock the power of green skills to tackle pressing environmental issues like climate change, resource conservation, pollution reduction, and sustainable resource management. These skills are pivotal in fostering a greener, more eco-conscious, and sustainable future.
Transferable skills, also known as soft skills, are very important now and in the future as more jobs require green skills. These are the skills that can be applied across a wide range of jobs.

Now more than ever, good decisions about the education and skills you will need in the future could lead to a sustainable and fulfilling career.
