The go-to tool to help develop your green career
Green skills are a vital component of the future workforce. The transition to a green economy is happening right now, and the demand for green skills is surging.
We need so many more diverse individuals across a broad spectrum of roles to meet this demand and contribute to a cleaner, greener way of working across all industries. We want to inspire you to pursue a green job, helping to maintain momentum, drive innovation, and deliver real change.
Where do we need to get to?
According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Green Jobs Report 2025:
“Despite a global 12% increase in workers acquiring green skills between 2022 and 2023, demand continues to outpace supply, with the number of job postings requiring at least one green skill rising by nearly 22% over the same period.”
But what are green skills? It’s a good question, and one that does differ across different organisations and sectors. According to the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals (ISEP), green skills is “an umbrella term for the knowledge, behaviours, capabilities and technical skills required to tackle the environmental challenges we face and to unlock new opportunities for growth.”
For ISEP, green skills encompass both technical knowledge – such as environmental auditing, carbon accounting, installing a heat pump or understanding relevant law or policy – and the transferable or business skills needed across all sectors. These include communication, analytical thinking, leadership and relationship development.
What is the Green Careers Hub?
Launched in 2023, the Green Careers Hub, owned and managed by ISEP, is a website that aims to raise awareness of green jobs and skills. The Hub is relevant to everybody, regardless of the stage of their career, and can be used by individuals, organisations and educational institutions to educate and inspire.
The site has a plethora of information, including video case studies, careers advice, job profiles, live jobs and insightful blogs. New content is added on a monthly basis, showcasing examples of jobs that are needed in the green transition and providing tips on how to get into them.
