Green Skills Training: Understanding Opportunities in Nature Recovery

Are you guiding residents in the West of England toward new careers and skills opportunities? Join our FREE training session to expand your expertise with the tools and resources needed to connect people with exciting roles in the nature recovery sector.

Why Nature Recovery?

Nature recovery is not only essential for sustaining our environment, but it’s also crucial for a thriving economy, climate resilience, and public wellbeing. Nature-based roles are anticipated to grow, with diverse opportunities that help restore, protect, and enhance natural habitats across the West of England. Whether it’s planting trees to capture carbon, cleaning waterways to boost biodiversity, or developing wildlife habitats, nature recovery careers require a wide range of skills, from environmental planning and community outreach to education and project management. This sector opens doors for people interested in working outdoors, as well as those with transferable skills in areas like education or project management.

What You’ll Gain from the Session:

• Insight into Career Pathways: Understand the breadth of roles in nature recovery and the sector’s growth potential.
• Opportunities for All Experience Levels: Discover options for both newcomers and those looking to upskill.
• Training and Networking Resources: Explore training available locally and learn about networking within the sector.
• Labour Market Insights: Get familiar with where nature recovery jobs are posted and data on sector demands.
• Access to Key Resources: Discover materials to help you guide residents on their path to nature-based careers.

Participants will receive a digital badge to recognise their new knowledge and commitment to supporting green careers.

Who Should Attend?

This session is tailored for professionals providing careers and skills-related information, advice, and guidance (IAG), equipping you to support residents in seizing nature-based opportunities. No prior experience in the nature or green skills sector is needed.
