Young people are invited to join a new free project at Lancaster University to help develop future leaders in sustainability.

Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) has launched iGriow Green Careers which aims to enhance employability and green skills among people aged 18-30 in both the north-west of England and also in West Java, Indonesia, where Lancaster has a joint international campus.

iGrow Green Careers is about creating meaningful pathways into the green economy," said Dr Hina Khan, Programme Lead at LUMS.

"We want to ensure that young people - particularly from under-represented backgrounds - have access to the skills, networks and opportunities needed to succeed in emerging green industries and future careers.”

“It will no longer be a side issue in the small talk part of an interview, it will be a central plank of their recruitment. 

 “For B Corps and purpose-driven organisations, sustainability isn’t just about environmental impact - it’s about creating long-term value for people, communities, and the planet.

"iGrow Green Careers plays a vital role in building that pipeline of talent, equipping individuals with the skills, confidence, and purpose needed to contribute to a more responsible and resilient economy.”
