A new programme offering information on how to be more environmentally friendly is being offered to every working person in Salford, free of charge.
The ‘Low Carbon Skills: Journey to Net Zero’ programme helps residents to understand Net Zero, and work towards Greater Manchester’s ambition to be carbon neutral by 2038.
It also helps people to better understand the environmental challenge in their workplaces, empowering them to begin or progress their net zero journeys and create a clear and strategic plan for achieving those ambitions.
The course is set to be offered across the whole of Greater Manchester, as well as Salford.
Delivered by Greater Manchester-headquartered social enterprise The Growth Company, the course consist of 21 hours of guided learning, with participants having the opportunity to earn a Level 3 accreditation in Low Carbon Skills.
Catriona Watson, Programme Manager – Net Zero Training at the GC Business Growth Hub, says: “Organisations across Greater Manchester are starting to reckon with the environmental challenge we’re all facing and the role that they can play in adapting their own practices for the benefit of us all.
“Our intention is that the people undertaking this training will be able to become environmental ambassadors within their own businesses and lead from the front.”
The course is being run in partnership with Bee Net Zero, a Greater Manchester-wide initiative that aims to make the city region the easiest place to be a net zero organisation. Bee Net Zero consists of five pillars of activity: Training & Awareness; Technical Support; Collaboration; Acceleration and Programme Management.
