Green Skills network

Upcoming network meeting: Our next Green Skills update will be chaired by David Bussey, Clarion Futures, and he will be joined by Ollie Bolwell Head of Strategy & Incubation at OVO talking about the Green Skills work being completed. Ollie will share the work OVO have been doing around retrofit including learnings and discuss any gaps and barriers they are facing in green skills sector as well as any initiatives OVO are involved in. We will then hold a Q&A – a great opportunity to be inspired and ask those important questions.

The network is a space to share learnings from our Green Skills Project in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, as well as examples of projects from across the sector. You do not need to be part of the network to attend this event.

The network will focus on practical challenges in setting up green skills employment programmes, as well as provide insights into the policy landscape, thanks to our partners Communities that Work.
