Having recently being awarded outstanding for Bootcamps by Ofsted, Keele University is running two Climate Change Skills Bootcamps to help your workforce prepare for the changes coming from the net zero transition – with this one relating to Place-Based Decarbonisation.
This course would normally cost £3,600 to access, however, with the support of funding from Department for Education and a Keele Bursary, it can be accessed free of charge.
Place-based decarbonisation will be a key part of the net zero transition. Understand your role in bringing net zero to life in your community. Learn from experts what place-based decarbonisation means for you and your organisation and visit leading demonstrator sites throughout the Midlands. Develop the confidence to lead on the transition and identify the co-benefits of action.
Duration: 12 weeks with three hour online sessions and three visits to leading place-based decarbonisation hubs in the Midlands.
Commencing: 08 January 2024.
