Sector Relevant Skills required for the Green Industries transition

Session overview

A joint workshop to create a roadmap for the skills required to achieve Net Zero in the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) region.

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 joint skills workshop to help formulate the roadmaps to address the known and predicted skills gaps around these themes. As a subject matter expert and/or practitioner in the field, this is a key opportunity for you to contribute to:

1. Address sustainability, leadership, innovation and growth with a clear focus on skills, knowledge, capabilities and leadership
2. Identify the skills base already in the EMCCA region
3. The skills required in the future to meet the ambitions of the EMIZ programme
4. Any potential shortfall in skills areas
