About this Event
The Future is Green: Green Energy, Jobs & Ramsgate's Future
Saturday 24 October | Ramsgate | Free
What could Ramsgate's green future look like – and what opportunities could it create for local people?
The Future is Green is a free community event and Green Careers Fair bringing together local organisations, employers, young people and the wider community to explore the opportunities emerging from Thanet's green and marine economy.
The day follows September's Green Energy, Marine & Coastal Innovation Forum at the Port of Ramsgate and brings that conversation into the community.
