Upskill your workforce to calculate the carbon footprint of your projects
Build your career with CarbonSmart knowledge
This is a 90% funded green skills Bootcamp for built environment professionals working in SMEs and start-ups delivered by London South Bank University (LSBU).
We are looking for SME employees who are looking to upskill within their industry. Roles can range from quantity surveyors and project managers to energy and facilities managers, with the course aimed at those currently working in construction, procurement, sustainability, and design-related fields.
The final cohort will start on Friday 10 January 2025, training built environment professionals to calculate the carbon footprint of an array of projects.
The ability to calculate carbon emissions is an essential tool for businesses, helping them recognise, control, and reduce risks and promote sustainability. It is an important factor in adhering to environmental laws and responsibilities, optimising resource management, and enhancing business performance.
With the resource constraints faced by SMEs, which constitute 99.9% of UK private sector businesses, initiatives like the CarbonSmart bootcamp can be pivotal in empowering SME staff to drive meaningful sustainability actions.
70% of the UK's largest companies have already set carbon reduction targets
SMEs can play a crucial role in addressing the UK's (industrial sector) 17% contribution to greenhouse gas emissions
The course offers hands-on training that sets employees and employers up to tackle real life challenges
Here's what one of our Bootcamp graduates had to say:
"Participating in LSBU's CarbonSmart Bootcamp has empowered us with the knowledge to navigate the RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment and strengthened our commitment to sustainable practices."
