Empowering Students and Industry for a Sustainable World

The environment belongs to everyone, and ensuring sustainability within and outside the walls of Burnley College is essential.

Our two-pronged strategy empowers learners at every level to discover the basics of sustainability while offering a wide range of sustainability-based educational pathways for individuals and businesses ready to expand their environmental skills and knowledge.

Learning and Enhancement Initiatives

Every Themis Apprentice completes a sustainability project.

Learners must research, create and deliver a full report and initiative to their employer about a sustainability initiative within their company.

The success of this scheme has led to a larger project and our Learning and Professional Development team are now mapping our curriculum against our sustainability goals to create a similar scheme for our A Level and Vocational Learners.

Sustainability Courses

From online certificates in Understanding Environmental Sustainability to hands-on learning with cutting-edge green facilities (including heat pumps, turbines, power storage and more), we provide the educational framework businesses and individuals need to stay at the forefront of sustainability.

We work with employers large and small – from sole traders to global leaders in Aerospace Engineering – to provide the education, skills and knowledge to allow industry across the region to remain innovative and successful.
