Youth Green Skills Course - Tiverton

Come along to our Launch Day to find out more about our 'Green Skills Course'!

If you're keen to boost your CV and get some work experience locally, come and learn about what it's all about at our free open day  - a chance to meet a few of the facilitators and get to know some local initiatives and projects which you'll be invited to get involved in throughout the 12 session course (starting in January 2027). 

Run in collaboration with Sustainable Tiverton and Planet & People CIC, and generously funded by the Pencarrie Foundation and Devon Community Foundation, we are glad to be able to offer this course free of charge. 

If you are between 16 and 24 years and live in the Tiverton area we are really excited to offer this chance for you to:

• Boost your CV with hands on work experience
• Work together with mentors who will be there throughout the course to support your progress
• Connect to local employers
• Get a chance to see firsthand and be inspired by, local environmental initiatives
• Build your confidence to make sure you are work-ready
• Work on a project of your choice
• Get involved in real world tasks to showcase and enhance your skills

We hope to see you on 4th November to hear more aabout the course which will kick off with weekly sessions starting from the New Year 2027 - and if you like what you see, you'll have an opportunity to join. We intend for the sessions to be practical and fun, introducing you to Sustainable Tiverton projects: Repair Café, Tiverton Tree Team, Share Shop, Community Orchard, Rerooted Café, Wild Tiverton etc. The course will culminate in a careers fair with local businesses in attendance. 

There's no cost, just an agreement that you'll attend and participate throughout. The more you put in, the more you get out!

We're all looking forward to seeing you at the launch day. Details to follow. Refreshments will be provided.
