Skills & Partnerships for Sustainability

The transition to a green economy will require a huge up-scaling in skills for sustainability across the workforce- from specialist technical to advanced leadership competencies.  Alongside this, organisations will need to work in partnership across sectors to tackle systemic sustainability challenges- as highlighted by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. 

Partnerships

  • Scoping and due diligence: exploring whether one or more of your objectives would benefit from partnership working and who those partners could be- whether within your sector or more widely 
  • Planning and delivery: brokering a well-structured partnership promoting trust on both sides
  • Review and development: reviewing, consolidating and refreshing existing partnerships
  • Practical support: finding new sources of finance to develop your work, assistance with bid-writing and partnering workshops

Skills Development

  • Skills audit: support in identifying where sustainability skills are important to your organisation and how to fill gaps 
  • Key concepts: introduction to key concepts such as systems thinking, circular economy, the SDGs and doughnut economics- the building blocks of the green economy, interpreted for your organisation
  • Tailored Mentoring: support for staff and volunteers with, or keen to take on, sustainability responsibilities
  • 'Emerging Leader' Sustainability materials: tailored modules for young people to bridge the green skills gap 

Employee Engagement

  • Tailored programmes: developing inspiring employee engagement for sustainability that fit with your culture and values
  • Vision workshops: inspiring vision development workshops encouraging you and your team to think ambitiously and innovatively about your role in a more sustainable future
  • Engaging decision makers: tips and strategies to bring influencers on board
  • Content creation: briefings, topical blogs and resources to keep your staff involved
