Classroom Activities Linked to Green Careers

Watch Our Green Apprenticeship Film

We’ve created a Green Apprenticeships Film, featuring amazing apprentices from Amazon, Essex County Council, Leonardo, GEA, Rothamsted Enterprises, Suffolk County Council and more.

The film showcases the many ways that apprentices from a wide range of roles are helping to push the green agenda forward, working with a real sense of purpose and driving real change.

Watch the Green Apprenticeships Film here or check out our supporting green resources below! 

Play our Whack-a-Mole: Green apprenticeships edition

Spot the correct green apprenticeship – Whack-a-Mole game

In this game, you can win points by hitting the alien moles with real green apprenticeships on them!

You’ll get extra points for speed, but there will be some fake apprenticeship roles in there also, so be careful not to hit the wrong moles!

Work through as many levels as you wish. What score can you achieve?

Take the Sustainability Quiz

How much do you know about sustainability and the careers that could be linked to the green sector?

Ask your students to take this interactive quiz to build their knowledge on topics like net zero and discover more about sustainable careers!
