Recently, Groundwork held a wonderful event to celebrate the ending of the New to Nature programme. 64 Trainees attended this nationwide event, including 8 local people who we have supported 🥰
New to Nature is an employment programme that helps under-represented people get into green jobs through paid work placements.
Amazing outcomes from this programme include:
👉 9 out of the first 10 Trainees have secured ongoing employment at the end of their placement, with eight of those remaining in the natural environment sector.
👉 86% Trainees recruited are from priority groups, with 29% from an ethnically diverse background, 42% being disabled, 63% being from a low-income background, 54% from more than one priority group
👉 92% of Trainees report that they are now confident of finding a job in the field they want to be in
👉 100% of Trainees report that New to Nature has allowed them to gain new skills and experiences that will help them with their future careers.
New to Nature is coming to an end, with the final cohort finishing their placements in July, but we offer other types of employability support.
