Pilot training sessions tailored to businesses’ needs

Businesses across the Island are being surveyed about training to help them develop more sustainable practices.

It's being carried out by UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man working with the Department for Enterprise, Chamber of Commerce, UCM and the One World Centre.

Organisations are being asked which areas they want support with, what format the training will take and when.

The responses will form a pilot programme to start next year.

Environment, Food & Agriculture Minister, Geoffrey Boot MHK, says: "Businesses large and small can make a huge difference to sustainability in many areas but we understand they may not have in-house knowledge and may benefit from expert advice.

"We plan to host pilot training sessions tailored to businesses’ needs and the survey will help us to shape this training."

The deadline for taking part is Friday, December 4 - a link to the survey is on our website.
