WORK PLACEMENT, ONLINE AND EMPLOYABILITY VIRTUAL OPPORTUNITIES
Note to students:
It is really important that your timetable isn't regularly affected by any work experience.
If you would like to attend any sessions that do conflict with lessons and are a maximum of one day, a permission slip can be obtained through sian.roberts@blackpoolsixth.ac.uk which needs to be agreed upon firstly by your teachers and then head of department to be released from lesson.
Any longer term or block placements (placements that would require more than a day) should be arranged in holidays and/or weekends so as to reduce the disruption this causes to learning.

Climate technology is broad. It encompasses areas like renewable energy production (wind, solar, biomass), energy efficiency, energy infrastructure to create demand-side flexibility, energy storage, transport, waste, carbon capture, green infrastructure, appliances and more. Innovation in climate technology is all about finding new solutions or business models and accelerating their development to make climate technology more efficient, more cost-effective, and cut greenhouse gas emissions. Whether it is a product or a service, climate technology innovation focuses on developing ideas. It is about bringing solutions from the lab straight to market to tackle climate change.
Opportunities within it are vast.
