What skills offers should be included in our Green Skills Playbook?

The Taskforce's outputs reflect its focus on pro bono delivery, leveraging the collective industry voice, and the need to promote long term green skills offers across the Central London Forward boroughs. ​

If your organisation or network is doing work that should be included in our upcoming Green Skills Playbook, get in touch. Together we will bring greater clarity and opportunity for achieving real change in the green skills space.​
