Enhancing Environmental Skills: Case Study of Public and Private Sector Approaches

This case study explores a project aimed at improving skills for the green economy in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly from November 2009 to June 2012. It highlights the innovative methods adopted to enhance qualifications and skills within the environmental sector. The public sector example involves the Environment Agency focusing on biodiversity, while the private sector features Google’s bespoke leadership training.
