Net zero skills Wales

Net Zero refers to achieving a balance between the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere.

As sectors make commitments to change and evolve, they will need a workforce with the right skills to deliver those goals. We will work closely with sectors to understand their pathway to net zero and what this means for skills and jobs. This includes equipping learners and employers with their options for investing in skills.

Working in partnerships we want to help you understand what these changes mean and how you can make an informed choice. Over the coming months we will be developing this web content to provide you with practical examples, by sector, highlighting what is available across Wales with a range of options available to you.
