We had our Green Skills Festival in Glasgow last week, and young people gained insight into the range of opportunities and jobs within the green sector and how they can achieve it. Thank you to all our speakers and partners who inspired a generation to look into the green sector and made the event a success.

Today, 10th October, the world commemorates World Mental Health Day. It is a global observance day with the goal of promoting, educating, and raising awareness about mental health, getting people talking about it, and eradicating the stigma that frequently surrounds mental health. This year’s theme is “It is time to prioritize mental health in the workplace.” 15% of working-age adults were estimated to have a mental disorder in 2019. Source: World Health Organization. Mental health awareness and support are crucial in the workplace. This is just one of the reasons that FES Group offers all its employees access to our free, confidential, Employee Assistance Programme. #worldmentalhealthday #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #youarenotalone #mentalhealth

Community Benefits at Forth Valley Hospital The team from FES Group was delighted to help with the installation of a new artwork at Forth Valley Hospital. The artwork is a memorial wall to those who have donated organs. The theme of the artwork is to express gratitude for the giving of life to others. For donors’ families and recipients, the hope is that it will provide a place of memorial; for the public it will act as a reminder of the value of organ and tissue donation, and it will also have a presence as a contemporary artwork on its own expressive terms. https://lnkd.in/dqmeFbai

Fantastic school engagement session yesterday with S3 pupils from St Modans High School, Stirling as part of our Community Benefits commitment on the Stirling Council Solar PV, Thermal Panels and Battery Storage Framework contract. 17 pupils attended FES Group’s Training Centre to learn about renewable energy and green jobs, in particular, Solar PV and Tesla battery storage. Our Training Manager, Kenny Stewart, and Group Bid Manager, Laura McFadden CF APMP also delivered a talk to introduce apprenticeships as a possible career pathway. Star sparks of the future! #modernapprenticeships #apprenticeships #DYW

FES Group is delighted to be partnering with social enterprise, Powering Futures, to support their Powering Edinburgh’s Future Programme. Their Challenge Programme takes real-life business and sustainability challenges faced by industries and has students develop solutions to them. FES Group will partner with S5 and S6 pupils from Musselburgh Grammar school for a full academic year, during which time pupils will learn meta skills such as problem-solving, resilience and critical thinking, as well as gaining knowledge and understanding of sustainability. Powering Futures was set up in 2020 to empower the young and future workforce with the skills, knowledge and abilities to help the transition to net zero.
