With a range of roles and opportunities available, a green job is an exciting and diverse career. Whether you are starting out in your career, looking to progress or thinking of changing sectors, there are many places to find your next job opportunity. You don’t have to be a bio-scientist or ecologist to get a green job. The sector also needs people with building, marketing, sales, project management, management skills and more. In this promotional video created by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) in conjunction with the Department for Work & Pensions, Emma Bohan our General Manager talks about why Green Jobs are THE jobs.
Benefits of working in a green job include:
- It’s an accessible industry – some green jobs have entry-level roles available.
- You’ll have the chance to gain new skills and/or qualifications.
- Future-proof your career – green skills are transferable across sectors.
- You’ll help promote sustainable development and play a part in decarbonising the world economy.
- Green jobs protect and restore the environment for the benefit of all.
