Energy & Utility Skills welcomes this first Skills England report and the associated announcements from the Prime Minister at the Labour Party Conference.
Together they provide the building blocks of a change to the skills system that is urgently needed if we are to achieve Government ambitions for Net Zero and environmental improvement.
But we need pace if we are to deliver the skills and workforce needed by 2030; Energy & Utility labour market intelligence (LMI) published last week identifies the need for over 200 000 new jobs in the sector in the next 5 years.
Recognising the need to establish Skills England through legislation, time is against us and we need to act now.
