Will green industries lead to the biggest jobs boom the Highlands has ever seen? How do young people get into green careers? What impact are apprenticeships having on green industries? If you have a young person in your life thinking about what they want to do in the future, this is the podcast for you! In the second part of his look at the green job opportunities in the Highlands, SDS’s Anthony Standing heads along to RI Cruden in Inverness to meet Callum Cruden and third year Modern Apprentice ⁠Cosima Kramer-Lomax⁠ to talk about the opportunities apprenticeships are offering young people across industries. They talk about what jobs young people can get in the Highlands, how to get started, why green industries are a great choice, the kinds of jobs you can work in, why working in green is a lifelong career - and so much more! 🎧 https://lnkd.in/ejsnDsx9 #GreenJobs #LetsDoNetZero #HighlandsJobs #Apprenticeships R & I CRUDEN LIMITED
