Project overview
As part of the UKRIs Creating Opportunities through Local Innovation Fellowships (COLIF) pilot, the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Oxford, Southampton and Swansea are collaborating to address local inequalities by creating fellowships that combine academic research and evaluation with civic insights and experience.
In partnership with the New Forest National Park Authority (NFNPA), the research team, led by Dr Emma Rawlings Smith, will provide answers on what needs to change in the green employment sector. It will help key regional stakeholders – GreenPrint partners – to understand and consider the specific skills needs of key local sectors and the green economy.
The Fellowship will also serve as a catalyst to deliver behavioural change - invite education and training providers and key stakeholders across the GreenPrint area to work together to deliver a green skills system that is more responsive and closely aligned to the local labour market needs and fit for the future.
