This session by Greener Kirkcaldy explores how climate adaptation intersects specifically with the world of work.
It's an opportunity to access bespoke training that could suit your needs as an organisation trying to become more climate aware, or as an employability provider that would like to promote green skills and climate awareness to your employability clients.
The session can be held online or in person at a time and place of your choosing.
The session is free and covers:
- Climate awareness, the climate emergency and emissions
- The link to the workplace across a range of sectors
- Workplace skills and actions people can take
The training is interactive, and can be tailored to a specific employment sector that jobseekers are moving towards or interested in. You can choose from:
- Food and growing (including catering, hospitality, farming and land use)
- Travel (active and sustainable travel, business travel and tourism)
- Energy and the built environment (energy use and generation, building management)
- Consumption (including leisure activities, procurement and waste)
- Administration and technology (including communications, digital and technology and office management)
The training has been designed to increase people's awareness, carbon literacy and confidence in their journey into the world of work.
By the end of the session, participants will:
- Understand the causes of carbon emissions and the actions that can be taken to reduce them
- Have learnt about green skills and why they are increasingly relevant and important
- Have knowledge opportunities and challenges for employers and workplaces
- Have increased knowledge and confidence in the role employees can play and what this could mean for them
