Steve Brine got to grips with all things green as he visited training company New Career Skills on Friday September 24.
Steve visited the firm in Chandler’s Ford to see how it was training people from all walks of life and helping them to find careers in the renewable energy industry.
New Career Skills retrains mature career changers for jobs as plumbers, green engineers and electricians. In the last three years it has offered courses that enable people to get into the lucrative ‘green’ market and provides training on the likes of solar power and heat pumps.
A strong advocate of creating jobs in the green industry, Steve met with students training at the centre.
He said: “The green economy is expanding day by day and providing huge opportunities for those who are unemployed or simply looking to change occupation. The Government's Green Deal to radically overhaul the energy efficiency of homes and small businesses could support a quarter of a million jobs over the next 20 years and it is fantastic that a company here in Chandler’s Ford is leading the way in training people for these roles.”
