The Association of Colleges (AoC), with support from JPMorgan Chase, is launching a new programme to provide future generations with the sustainable construction skills they need.
The Creating a Greener London – Sustainable Construction Skills programme will develop innovative, local approaches to the delivery of eco-friendly skills training. The programme is targeted at young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds currently studying at level 2, to enable them to access skilled, green jobs in the construction sector.
The purpose of the programme is to meet the needs of students, employers, and colleges in delivering green skills training, through the development of practice. It aims to provide insights into how the local ecosystem can support young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds to access skilled employment while meeting the Government’s objectives around achieving net zero and delivering green skills to meet the demand for green jobs.
