The recent (July 2021) Green Jobs Task Force (GJTF) report to Government, Industry and the Skills Sector1 makes key recommendations for developing the green skills needed to meet the UK Government’s Net Zero targets. In its own words, the report:
…represents a call to arms for government, industry and the education sector across all stages of the green jobs life cycle: to invest in delivering net zero and our environmental goals; to build pathways into green careers for people from all backgrounds; and to ensure that workers and communities dependent on the high carbon economy are supported with the transition.
We were therefore keen to test the appetite for the creation of an informal, mutually supportive, information-sharing network, with the broad aim of exploring the skills that will be needed in the future workforce to enable business and industry to meet its net zero requirements and take advantage of the opportunities that net zero presents.
The survey was carried out in September 2021 by Blue Mirror Insights, with support from The Gatsby Foundation.
