Support for workers to benefit from thousands of clean power jobs

Regional skills investments to help workers access thousands of jobs and 'skills passport' goes live.

Workers across the UK will be supported with UK government-backed training programmes so they can benefit from thousands of new job opportunities in the clean energy sector.

Pembrokeshire, Aberdeen, Cheshire and Lincolnshire have all been identified as key growth regions for clean energy, with flourishing offshore wind, nuclear, and solar industries. Local partners will receive funding to identify the skills support that is needed in their area to deliver clean power by 2030 – which will protect households and businesses from unstable fossil fuel markets for good.

Funding could go towards new training centres, courses or career advisers - supporting local people into opportunities in industries such as welding, electrical engineering, and construction. Workers will be able to create an account to access the four career pathways currently available, helping them identify where their existing qualifications are recognised.
