In our second panel discussion of 2023, we spoke to youth organisations Global Youth Forum, founded in Kenya and Youth Environmental Service based in the UK, who recognise the skills gap young people are facing and are working to create opportunities to empower young people and support them gaining valuable skills and work experience.
Join us as we discuss “How can we better support young people and create more opportunities for them to achieve green jobs?”
After learning more about the work being done by each project, discussions focused on the challenges being faced by young people in terms of gaining skills and experience, how more opportunities can be provided, the benefits to young people and the reaction of employers to youth green skills development schemes.
