'With the UK Government investing more and more in skills training, it is an exciting time for SkillSeeder to be further developing the app and web interface. A first for the land-based training industry, we are delighted to be able to bring climate change training into one place making it easy for skill seekers to search for courses which will help them to improve their knowledge and awareness of green living in their communities.'
Climate change training is essential for the green recovery and for people to have the skills needed for the new jobs that will be created. It has been recognised that undertaking these types of courses can sometimes be expensive, so the Scottish Government’s Regenerative Training Fund will ensure that climate change training courses are now available to more people.
