A Green and Sustainable Development AMBITION for the FE & Skills Sector
Greener
Fairer
Vision
The FE & Skills Sector, across THE NORTH, leading the way towards a sustainable, net-zero future for institutions, employees, apprentices & learners.
Transforming Institutions
FE & Skills organisations have a responsibility to teach learners about sustainability but to commit to becoming truly sustainable institutions and for all to be working towards net zero by 2030.
Embedding and Promoting in the curriculum
In order to meet local and national net-zero goals, education for sustainable development needs to be embedded and promoted into all areas of the curriculum. By doing this we will better equip our learners for their future learning, careers and life choices.
Learners Acting as Agents of Change
As part of the response to ‘green up’ the curriculum, FE & Skills organisations have an important role to play in raising the profile of sustainability across the business sector through projects and activities apprentices and learners undertake.
Support the Sector to Influence Future Change
Through building successful long-term relationships with key sector partners that support green, circular and sustainable development, we commit to provide a platform to learn, share and develop this agenda.
