Building London’s Future Workforce: Climate Action Jobs and Skills across London’s Growth Sectors

Why attend? 
With summers getting hotter and weather more extreme, action needs to be taken to improve London’s resilience and liveability. Driving clean energy, protecting our homes and infrastructure and carbon reduction are all essential, yet understanding the skills and jobs required to do this can be complicated. Businesses in all sectors, from hospitality to construction to finance need to know how they should incorporate sustainability capabilities into their workforce, job seekers need to know where the ​‘green’ jobs are, and providers need to know what training they should develop. This event aims to tackle those questions.

This will be an action-orientated session. It will help you to make valuable employer-provider-government connections, develop a deeper understanding of climate action jobs demand across sectors, and to identify plans and good practice that will help meet employer skills demand, support learners into training and get people into jobs that will ultimately help London’s resilience.
