About this event
The UK's ability to experience a successful and timely Net Zero transition will depend on having a workforce with the right technical skills and knowledge. We study to what extent the Apprenticeship system in England can support the provision of skills needed to achieve this goal. We analyse the detailed training content of regulated apprenticeship plans and use NLP techniques to map the skills supplied to those demanded in the labour market as recorded by a repository of online job ads. Applying a definition of 'low carbon' skills derived from the online job ads data, we quantify the 'low carbon content' of apprenticeship plans and describe how the supply of 'low carbon' skills has evolved in recent years alongside changes in demand. Next steps in this project include using this data to quantify the responsiveness of low-carbon skill supply to demand and identify emerging skill gaps. We will also investigate potential barriers to access low-carbon training opportunities by gender, age, ethnicity and across different areas.
