How the low carbon economy offers rewarding career opportunities
The UK’s commitment to being carbon neutral by 2050 is going to change our world in many ways…
…from sourcing renewable energy to recycling what we use and driving electric vehicles to more efficient and sustainable food production and green building. But making such a massive shift towards a Green Economy will need people with the right skills to put these changes in place – skills that are currently in short supply.
The estimated cost of retrofitting just the socially owned housing stock in the Portsmouth area is over £750m.
That’s why it’s time to make sure you have the skills you need to build a career in the future – whether you’re leaving school, already working or looking at a career change. And NetZero Training Hub Portsmouth is the ideal way to gain those skills.
