About Green Work 4 All
Green Work 4 All is a programme that supports people to help them find a suitable role, course or apprenticeship within the green skills sector, funded by the European Union and Greater London Authority. The programme team will actively support those looking for employment and development in the Green sector, wether this is through green skills training, application support or securing their first work placement. Every career journey is unique and Green Work 4 All will adopt a tailored approach to understand the needs of each individual and the suitable options available to them.
We aim to help programme members in their understanding of the world of work, to enable them to rise effectively to the challenge of meeting the particular aptitudes, skills and occupational requirements of the priority sectors by providing Information Advice and Guidance (IAG) and Job Search.

If you fall into one or more of these groups and you’re looking to secure a job role, apprenticeship or course to help you gain employment opportunities and skills in the Green Sector, please get in touch.
