The Big Green Money Show - How To Get A Green Job

Deborah and Fliss are back for Series 4!

Today's show is all about green jobs. What is a green job? And how do I get one?

Meet the young woman who was inspired to give up a career in hairdressing to chase her dream of working on offshore wind farms. She's now in her first year of an apprenticeship learning how to maintain and fix wind turbines.

Deborah and Fliss also meet her boss, Duncan Clark, the man in charge of the UK operations of the massive energy company Ørsted. He describes what life is like if your job involves building and maintaining these giant structures far out to sea.

Find out what jobs the company offers and what qualities he looks for in a worker.

And keep listening to hear the message for Haidee from Keeley Donovan, the presenter of that documentary which inspired her career change.

Presented by Deborah Meaden and Felicity Hannah.
