Following on from April’s successful green skills introductory workshops, we're offering a free experience day, aimed at 16-25 year olds, taking place on 27 September at The Margate Caves.

You’ll learn what sustainability really is, get to meet industry professionals and, best of all, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge needed to start your career. 

There really is no better opportunity to meet the climate crisis head on in your hometown. 

Speakers include:

• Sarah Higgs, business support and apprentice mentor at RWE’s London Array offshore wind farm.
• Robert Nithsdale, Operations Director at GrowUp Farms.
• Amina Sefiani, a designer, stylist, and founder of Waste Will Save Us.
• Helen Smith, Environment and Play Worker at Windmill Community Gardens Margate. 
• Bird Wise East Kent, a partnership of local authorities and conservation organisations, working together to mitigate disturbance to birds that winter in East Kent.
• Louisa Harris, who lectures in Sustainable Business at Cambridge University’s Institute of Sustainable Leadership.
• Jessica Rose, Founder of Co-relate and Plastic Free Thanet.

Jessica Rose, director at Co-relate says:

“Thanet’s green job opportunities are growing every year and we want to make sure local young people can benefit from them. “Following our successful workshops earlier this year, we’ve pulled together some fantastic speakers to help demystify what green skills and jobs are, where they are and how you can get into them. We’re making it fun, interactive and free to attend.”

We hope to see you there!
