rich 1.0 How do we inspire the next generation to see golf courses as a place of opportunity and a rewarding career? Jenny Bledge, BIGGA’s Workforce and Careers Lead, is responsible for the First Green initiative that’s becoming a powerful tool for introducing young people into careers in the turf industry. With a background in education and information governance, she is helping to connect classrooms with golf courses and show people how STEM subjects come to live in the real world. Jenny is our guest on The BIGGA Podcast and she discusses the origins of First Green and the impact the programme is having on clubs, schools and on the wider turf industry. What does a typical First Green day look like at a golf course? How have new greenkeepers been inspired to join the profession because of First Green? And how can clubs and schools get involved?
