A new free Green Skills Development Programme to help businesses and individuals to become ‘green champions’ has been launched by Bedford Borough Council.
The Bedford Borough Green Skills Development Programme offers, “Practical, tailored learning opportunities, helping participants gain valuable knowledge and skills that can make a real difference”, according to Rondi Allan of Sustainable X who are collaborators on the initiative.
The Bedford Borough Green Skills Development Programme is now open for:
- businesses with a need to enhance internal capacity for sustainability and green skills
- individuals with a desire to enhance their knowledge
- individuals with a desire to shift career into the green economy
Rondi Allan added, “We are excited to be part of this initiative to equip Bedford Borough’s businesses and individuals with essential green skills. This programme supports local economic growth and promotes environmental responsibility.
The programme follows five modules and allows participants to choose those that fit their needs best. Participants could complete all of modules to become a Bedford Borough Green Champion, or just one module. Both will lead to a CPD certification.
Depending on the needs of those participating the course will either take place virtually or through in-person workshops.
