Green Visions: Greening Your Future

Green Visions: Greening Your Future is a  programme which seeks to raise awareness of Devon green industry businesses, careers, apprenticeships and qualification routes to secondary school pupils attending northern Devon schools. There will be a focus on northern Devon projects but also keen to include any cross-Devon green initiatives such as floating offshore wind, solar electricity supply, clean propulsion, green hydrogen, de-carbonisation, net zero and aquaculture.  Green Visions will run from September 2025 with schools being able to choose from a menu of green careers-related activities delivered by green businesses and organisations connected to Green industry. Benefits to businesses include: promote your industry, promote your business, raise awareness of your future skills and staffing needs, develop your talent pipeline especially around apprenticeships and early career roles; develop new skills, contacts and networks; fulfil your business’ CSR responsibilities and give something back to the community. I’m very keen to hear from Devon businesses/organisations who might be interested in delivering an activity to Y7 or Y8 school children, and would like to invite you an initial scoping meeting (no commitment at this stage).
