Knowledge

Abilities

& Attitudes

That we need to live in and develop a sustainable and resource friendly society.

There are four groups of hard skills that are especially important:

• Engineering & Technical Skills

• Science Skills

• Operational Management Skills

• Monitoring Skills

The following soft skills are also deemed as highly important: design thinking, creativity, adaptability, resilience and empathy.

On the board write each of the 4 hard skills and 5 soft skills. Next to each, write why you think they are important to creating a sustainable society.

5 Minutes

In partners, answer the four questions at the end of the video (pause at 2 mins 20 seconds). Write your answers down and be ready to share them with the read of the class.

What are green careers?

As well as thinking about the green skills we need to create a sustainable future, we must also consider what careers will be helpful to building a greener future.

What are the LMI predictions?

LMI stands for Labour Market Information. It gives us information about job roles now and in the future. For example, it tells us how much you can earn in each job, how many hours you might work and what industries are growing/declining.

As you can imagine, the Green industry is set to grow! Here are some key LMI facts…

By 2030, there could be 694,000 green jobs in the low-carbon and renewable energy sector across England, rising to more than 1.18m by 2050.

Research by the Institute for Public Policy Research suggests that more than 200,000 jobs could be created in energy efficiency by 2030, and 70,000 jobs in offshore wind alone as soon as 2023.

By 2035, new diesel, petrol and hybrid cars will no longer be sold in the UK. This means the people working in the automotive industry may need to retrain to keep their jobs.

Why do Green Careers matter?

For people

We know these jobs are needed for our future. If we do not act now, there might not be a planet left to save!

People who do not consider green careers may be “left behind” as they won’t have the skills they need for the jobs that are available.

For businesses

The government are putting lots of resource into the movement to green careers. If companies do not amend their processes to suit, they risk going out of business.

For example, if a car company doesn’t make an electric vehicle, from 2030, the will have nothing to sell!

For the world

Our planet is dying. If we do not work towards a more sustainable society, we will not have anywhere to live.

Coral reefs, the sea, the air and the land are all suffering because of the human race.

Here are some ideas that you may have on your list…

How can you develop your own green skills?

Now we know why green skills and careers are so important, let’s consider what

YOU can do to prepare for a greener future.

For your starter activity, you wrote down 4 hard skills and 5 soft skills and thought about why they were important. For each skill, now write what you think you could do to develop each skill.
