Exploring Green Careers with Green Alliance

We were delighted to host Green Alliance recently for a series of workshops focused on “Green Careers.” They worked with Year 12 Geography students last half term, as well as a small group of Year 10 Geography students at the start of this half term.

As the UK moves towards a net-zero future, demand for environmental expertise is growing rapidly across every sector— including law, engineering, technology and the arts. Students explored how the transition to a sustainable economy is creating thousands of new roles, from renewable energy to circular fashion. It was a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to see how their future career paths could help tackle the climate crisis.

Kayla in Year 10 said the session was excellent and that she enjoyed learning about the skills needed for green jobs. She reflected on how these roles will be increasingly important in future employment. Mia (also Year 10) said she was particularly interested in the types of jobs that could help improve our world, and in learning that a growing market for these careers already exists.

The Green Alliance team commented on how engaged our students were, noting that their contributions were both thoughtful and insightful.

A huge thank you to the Green Alliance team, Mr Gibbins and Mr Bluer for helping our students to imagine careers that are both successful and sustainable.
