Units
NOCN Group’s Green Skills units are aimed at learners of all ages and background, from school leavers and apprentices to experienced professionals looking to upskill. By completing these units, learners can demonstrate their understanding of key environmental issues and gain valuable skills that are highly sought after by employers in the green economy.
Apprenticeships and Qualifications
We have developed a range of qualifications and apprenticeships that focus on green skills, such as renewable energy, waste managements, and sustainable construction. Our qualifications are designed to help businesses become more environmentally friendly, reduce carbon footprint and stay competitive in an increasingly green economy.
Short Courses
NOCN Group’s Green Skills Short Courses have been designed to enable individuals to demonstrate their understanding of green issues in the sector they work in and provide them with the skills needed for the transition to a more sustainable future.
Greening UK skills
Greening the UK’s Skills is a report by Graham Hasting-Evans, Chief Executive at NOCN Group outlining the challenge faced by the UK in meeting its climate commitments.
The report outlines that the transition to Net Zero will only be possible with a skilled ‘green’ workforce to build, operate and maintain the necessary assets for energy, retrofit and carbon capture as well as related infrastructure in the logistics, utilities and transportation industries.
