The London Green Space Skills Hub is part of the Mayor’s Green Skills Academy. It will deliver the commitments of the London Green Space Commission. It aims to bring together all the parties involved in London’s green space improvements with a particular focus on sharing the skills and knowledge necessary to meet the landscape challenges of climate change adaptation and mitigation, and attracting and supporting new entrants into this changing growing workforce.

As well as a focus on traditional parks and formal spaces, we will take in the land on housing estates, verges, street space, green roofs and wherever informal spaces are and or can be green. Increasing skills to help improve and create these spaces has the potential to help transform our city, responding to the climate and ecological emergencies and providing healthy, social spaces for Londoners.
The Hub will work across the green space sector and related disciplines within the public realm of water management, housing, highways, construction and design to tackle these sector issues:
- People – Recruitment, workforce structure, diversity and inclusion
- Training gaps and Curriculum Design – Defining employer needs, identifying training options, curriculum design, brokerage, legacy
- Apprenticeships – Keeping the levy in the sector, SME collaboration, programme design
- Careers and CPD – Upskilling the workforce, outreach to other sectors (housing, highways, regeneration)
- Climate and Future Skills – Focus on climate-driven landscapes, other future green space uses (health and wellbeing, social assets)
