Green Construction - a roadmap for the skills in the region

Tuesday 1 April 2025, 10am - 1pm

Session Overview

The East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) is focused on establishing the East Midlands Investment Zone (EMIZ) as a national region of excellence for green technology investors and businesses. It will also support investment to promote employment and productivity growth within target sectors.

Within the EMIZ programme, skills and business support will be delivered to unlock opportunities for business and to address barriers to private sector growth, creating more high-quality jobs and opportunities for residents.

A series of ‘Skills Sprints’ have been commissioned to enable the necessary baseline activity to be undertaken to understand and invest in skills (Level 2-7) across a range of sectors and disciplines. 

You are invited to contribute to this Green Construction skills workshop to help formulate a roadmap to address the known skills gaps around green construction. As a subject matter expert and/or practitioner in the field, this is a key opportunity for you to contribute to:

  1. Identifying the skills base already in the EMCCA region;
  2. Defining the skills required in the future to meet the ambitions of the EMIZ programme;
  3. Highlighting any potential shortfall in skills areas.
