About Opportunity
Keen to work on Forest School & other environmental education projects? We have been funded to develop a training programme, for unemployed / under-employed people who wish to gain employment in an environmental / conservation related field. The training programme will consist of: • Practical and vocational training courses such as Forest Schools Level 2, Outdoor First Aid, MiDAS, Bushcraft, John Muir Award, Food Hygiene etc. • Work experience will be gained through helping us run our own projects, and those of other similar organisations. As we are investing a lot of time and money to each person, we will expect at least a year’s commitment. We are not expecting people to commit to us full-time, but prospective volunteers need to be available during the week to help us run projects and take part in training. Transport to and from projects can be provided, as well as to training courses.
