My Environment My Future (Geography – School/College Resource) (Ongoing)

Green Section:

My Environment My Future (MEMF) is a free schools programme which embeds knowledge, resources and guidance on careers within the built environment directly into the delivery of the GCSE and A-level geography curriculum.

Since launching in May 2020, over 260 teachers across the UK have engaged with MEMF and the programme is currently launching for the next academic year.

In attempts to generate a pipeline of talented and diverse young people for the built environment sector lots of excellent programmes promoting particular careers and trades within construction have been created.

The Built Environment, of which Construction is only a part, employs 3.2 million people and is forecasting a need for over 250,000 people in the next 5 years.

The sector is responsible for creating and improving the environment in which human society and our communities, can thrive, establishing the infrastructure to support the transport, communications and social needs of 21^st century Britain. All this while improving its relationship with the natural environment to minimise the impact on the planet; currently the sector is responsible for 42% of all CO₂ emissions for example.

It is urgent that we bring this sector to the attention of young people and those who advise them; the very fabric of our society, our collective physical and mental health as well as our ongoing impact on the natural world requires the best people to lead the revolution.

It is completely free to register and download the resources.
