ENVIRONMENTAL SKILLS NETWORK
About
Environmental Skills Network (ESN) is a new network providing support to existing and emerging environmental sector companies; from consultants to plumbers, recycling companies to electricians.
As one of thirteen sector organisations in Cornwall we are in receipt of European funding, known as convergence. ESN will use the convergence money to help environmental sector businesses access appropriate training opportunities. This money is intended to help our Cornish economy through developing skills in our workforce.
Background
Environmental Skills Network is a newly created sector body, incorporated as a not-for-profit limited company and owned by the members, for the benefit of the members.
ESN has been set up by ReZolve Kernow and Community Energy Plus to deliver training and support on behalf of Environment Kernow, a partnership devoted to sustaining Cornwall and The Scilly Isles’ environment.
