One Vision Housing launch green initative

One Vision Housing and Green Apprentices have teamed up to tackle long-term unemployment in Sefton and deal with environmental problems in the borough's estates.

A team of 'Green Apprentices' will be created who will ensure that problems such as fly-tipping, graffiti and littering are tackled whilst working towards a recognised qualification.

The scheme will provide those lacking basic skills and formal qualifications with the opportunity to gain an NVQ Level 2 in Local Environmental Services and the experience to assist them to find full time employment.
