Welsh Government launches Net Zero Skills Action Plan
he Welsh Government has published its Net Zero Skills Action Plan which sets out plans for government, businesses, education and trade unions to work together to upskill people to work in the net zero jobs of the future.
The plan looks to strengthen the skills system, including the apprenticeships programme. The Welsh Government is exploring options on how apprenticeship frameworks can further meet the net zero commitments.
In addition, Ministers will look to strengthen the offer of short courses to top-up net zero skills for young apprentices’ in new and emerging technologies and techniques through Personal Learning Accounts.
The plan also looks to promote opportunities for early years and young people to realise their potential. Wales’ new curriculum will do this by motivating, engaging, and equipping children and young people to effectively understand their future career options, and the world of work in the industries of the future.
