Careers showcase for local green-thinking teens.
If you know a teenager who loves spending time outside, then they may like to explore a career working in the great outdoors.
Local young people (aged 11-18) are invited to discover what it’s like to work at The Parks Trust, the charity caring for Milton Keynes’ green spaces.
Students will be able to meet some of the Operational team caring for more than 6,000 acres of landscapes, see the equipment involved, and watch live demonstrations of machinery in action! They’ll also find out about opportunities on offer and how to get involved in caring for nature.
Organised for school leavers as well as secondary school-aged students and their accompanying adults, the Trust’s teams will be at the Education Centre in Howe Park Wood between 1pm-3pm on Thursday 29th May. Howe Park Wood provides a safe home to many endangered animal and plant species and has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its wildlife value by Natural England.
Laura Beechey, Outdoor Learning Leader at The Parks Trust says “The careers showcase is an opportunity for young people to think about future career options and ideas. We’d love to meet anyone with an interest in working in this field now or in the future. We want people to know what it is like to be part of the team caring for our parks, woodlands and lakes and to see what the different roles involve.” Event information can be found at theparkstrust.com/careersshowcase
