New Forest Green Careers Network
Are you in, or wanting to get into, a green or blue career? You might already be at the start of your green career journey, or more experienced in your job role. There is always room for enhancing sector relationships and widening your knowledge.
The New Forest National Park Authority’s Education and Youth Team coordinate the Green Careers Network, which facilitates free training and networking opportunities throughout the year, in and around the New Forest area. These are varied in content, style and type of intended audience, meaning some might be relevant to you and your career progression, whilst others might not appeal – members are welcome to come along to those events which will be of most value to their personal development.
Being in a green or blue career can be defined by you! This can include every kind of role or organisation which contributes positively in some way towards the environment. For example, you might work directly in a practical conservation role for a wildlife organisation, the ecological consultation for a construction firm, the sustainability lead for a corporate company, an IT or marketing role for a green organisation, or a student in one of many related fields, and there are countless other examples in between.

If you would like to join the network and receive our newsletter, which will inform you of upcoming events and other relevant opportunities, please email us: education@newforestnpa.gov.uk. Specify your name, current area of work or study, and include ‘Green Careers Network’ in the subject line.
