Last year, we announced an ambitious goal to fill over 1000 new jobs creating a green army fit for the future. Just this week, we have confirmed a £5.4bn tender process to expand our transmission lines, which will bring hundreds of new jobs and opportunities in our business and beyond. We are constantly striving as business for our people and for our customers when it comes to innovating and moving forward to a better future quicker.
But we can’t do this alone.
Creating jobs of the future can only be achieved through collaboration across industries and sectors. The research released today shows that the UK’s green transition could be at risk if skills programmes are not ramped up across the board. Even though most business leaders agree that green skills will be a crucial driver of the green transition, only half of them are doing anything about it.
