Green Skills and Careers
On Wednesday 4 February 2026, Let’s Go Zero (part of Ashden Climate Change Charity) hosted an interactive online workshop exploring how schools can embed green skills and careers into careers education and the wider curriculum.
The session examined what green skills are, why they are increasingly important for pupils’ future employability, and how schools can support young people to access opportunities within the growing green economy. Participants gained practical guidance, real-world examples and actionable ideas to integrate green skills into teaching, careers programmes and whole-school planning.
The recording is now available for those who were unable to attend or would like to revisit the session.

Sharing Industry Insights with Young People
As part of our social value commitment to the GB Energy Solar Partnerships (GBESP) programme, the Barker Consortium is delivering a series of green skills and careers awareness activities with participating schools throughout the Spring term 2026.
These activities align with the programme’s energy reduction and decarbonisation objectives and are designed to support careers education around sustainability and the green economy, delivered by our expert industry partners. They include presentations, recordings of workshops and webinars, and resources to complement your school’s existing careers guidance activities.
