The pilot Green Futures programme, funded by the West of England Combined Authority (WECA), ran from June 2022 to April 2023 with 60 young people; they started in year 9 and continue through the early part of their year 10 studies. This year there are 95 participants; the programme includes skills building activities, employer interactions, and a university campus visit, all with a focus on green skills, jobs and industries.
Central to the programme, students will be asked to undertake a ‘green’ focused collaborative project set by the business partners, who will support students with relevant experience, insight and guidance. The projects will be presented by students in a showcase to peers and school staff describing their learning from their work experience.
