Green Careers and Sustainable Futures

The world is facing an environmental crisis due to climate change and biodiversity loss, addressing this and achieving net zero will require a diverse and skilled workforce where every job can play a part. Educating our young people on the importance of sustainability in their personal lives and future careers is paramount. 

 

Through our partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) UK and Founders4Schools (F4S), over the 2023-24 academic year, we delivered Sustainable Futures, a free careers programme for secondary schools and colleges that equips young people to thrive in a future green economy and make decisions about their future that are good for them and for the planet. 

JLL Office Visit

In November 2023, 20 Year 10 students from one of our partner schools in Norwich visited JLL to learn about sustainability and sustainable careers in property and real estate. 

“I loved the day because the workers at Sopra Steria gave us lots of insight into the work they do, their backgrounds, and the skills that allowed them to progress.”
