The greener jobs pipeline is a demonstration project in east London that will work in partnership with employers, training providers and support agencies to create pathways into employment for approximately 15 young people who want to work in the green trades
The initial pilot is focusing on trades such as solar roofing, insulation, horticulture and recycling, and targets young people who face barriers to employment. If successful, it could be a groundbreaking model for future initiatives around the UK and beyond.
Participants will have the opportunity to gain:
- Pre-employment skills
- Vocational skills
- Financial literacy
- Wraparound support services
- Environmental literacy
- An apprenticeship placement in either solar installation or insulation.
We aim for this “jobs pipeline” to create a bridge into decent, well-paid work and a promising future career.
We hope that this pilot will be a groundbreaking demonstration of what is possible – reducing youth unemployment in East London, having a positive environmental impact, building capacity within local organisations and businesses and putting green jobs higher up the political agenda.
