In January 2026, we submitted a response to the The Department for Education’s Post-16 level 3 and below pathways consultation.
We chose to respond to the consultation question most aligned with our expertise, regarding the subjects we think are most appropriate for delivery through V Levels.
Making environmental sustainability a priority within V Levels (and the wider skills system) is essential to meeting Net Zero and Nature Recovery commitments... Every occupation, whether classified as a green role or one that is ‘greening’ must adapt to new technologies and innovations shaping workforce skills. Embedding sustainability into vocational and technical education is therefore critical.
