This is all part of our celebration of Green Careers Week \u2013 which is happening this week from the 7<sup>th<\/sup> to 11<sup>th<\/sup> of November.<\/p>\n<p>Green Careers Week is all about the skills, knowledge and jobs that make up the workforce of the future. We know that environmental and green jobs are going to become massively more important as we try to meet our climate action goals as a society. In this article, we\u2019ll introduce you to some of these careers. Did you know they are huge growth areas of the economy?<\/p>\n<p>One thing you may not know is that a lot of other jobs that we don\u2019t currently think of as being green are likely to actually become green careers. For example, as getting solar panels and insulation installed becomes more and more important, some existing jobs will become a vital part of the response to climate change. Lots of jobs in the electrical or construction sector are already fast becoming vital green careers.<\/p>\n<p>So, read on to find out more about what\u2019s going on for Green Careers Week across Greater Manchester, and get some important info about the green skills and jobs that could be a crucial part of your future career.
