Creating a Greener London – Sustainable Construction Skills

image

The Association of Colleges Charitable Trust, with support from JPMorgan Chase has launched a new programme to provide future generations with the sustainable construction skills they need.

The Creating a Greener London – Sustainable Construction Skills programme is aimed at developing innovative, local approaches to the delivery of eco-friendly skills training.

The purpose of the programme is to meet the needs of students, employers, and colleges in delivering green skills training, through the development of practice. It aims to provide insights into how the local ecosystem can support young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds to access skilled employment while meeting the Government’s objectives around achieving net zero and delivering green skills to meet the demand for green jobs.  

The two pilots, South Thames College Group (STCG) and London South East Colleges (LSEC) will establish local collaborative partnerships, to identify existing and emerging green job opportunities available as studies show that people who face disadvantages, including those with low qualifications, may miss out on the opportunities presented by the green economy. This programme will improve progression opportunities for learners studying at Level 2 and below while helping to fill local and national skills gaps in green construction.

The following information will be consistently updated for all learning providers to access who are seeking resources and experience about the JP Morgan Green Skills in Construction pilot project from inception.

Resource directory

This resource directory supports colleges when planning and delivering Green Skills for construction related courses. The contents contain resources for staff to plan, deliver and capture evidence of knowledge, skills and behaviour of the student journey. There is also a valuable planning tool for staff to plan their CPD for upskilling in Green Skills.
