Environment Protection and Technology: Employment

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to review and simplify processes for large employers to assist smaller employers in enabling more young people to access employment opportunities in the green or technology markets.

Answer

Through the Green Jobs Delivery Group, the Government is working with industry to evaluate entry routes into green careers for young people.

Local Skills Improvement Plans will embed greater employer engagement in local skills systems in ways that bring the demand and supply sides more closely together and enable a more coherent “whole system” approach to skills planning including in green industries.
