slide4. What does it mean to reach Net Zero?
‘Net Zero means getting a balance between the carbon released into the atmosphere, and the carbon taken from it’
West of England Combined Authority have produced a Climate Emergency Action Plan which sets out five key areas for action towards reaching net zero, and they recognise that a skilled and motivated workforce is needed to deliver this. Meeting Net Zero and creating actual growth is dependent on addressing existing skills gaps and making efforts to mitigate against new ones.<br>
slide5. Need & Distribution of Jobs<br>
slide6. In 2020 it is estimated that within the West of England Combined Authority region, there were around 6,250 low carbon jobs Types of Jobs<br>
slide7. 7 Reskilling Opportunities
Teachers/Parents can see the transferable skills needed for new green sector jobs by referring to the table below:<br>
slide8. What skills will a young person need to find success in the
Green Economy? Soft skills Attitudes and behaviours
Behaviours and work readiness required to enable continued adaptability
An understanding of the green agenda expressed through personal behaviours and opinions Skills in the Green Economy<br>

slide10. Construction and Installation<br>
slide11. Construction and Installation Key careers include those listed below: The chart shows possible academic pathways 3 4 5 6 7 8<br>
slide12. Operations and Maintenance<br>
slide13. Manufacturing<br>
slide14. Other Green Jobs<br>
slide15. Digital skills and coding The Green Agenda will drive further development of new technologies using Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality and big data.
It will change the culture of the construction sector and make engineers and electricians into the IT specialists, software managers and system designers of the future.<br>
slide16. Environmental Law A fast-growing sector
Areas include environmental pollution and renewable energy generation.
As an environmental lawyer, most jobs will involve advising large organisations of their risks and defending them if legal action occurs.
There will be some opportunities in the area of non-governmental organisations (NGOs).<br>
slide17. Environmental Consulting Specialisms
Air, land and water contamination; environmental impact assessment and flood risk; and waste management and recycling. Employment in environmental consulting will need to grow significantly to ensure nature and the environment are protected.<br>
slide18. Low Carbon Engineering Engineering skills are needed for low carbon electricity generation, transport, alternative fuels and heat. Engineers will be required for site design, installation and maintenance of a broad range of infrastructure: A broad range of engineering courses are offered at universities within the region, including the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England.
Listed are some relevant courses to the low carbon sector The SW region is important for nuclear, low carbon aerospace and maritime design.<br>
slide19. Engineering sectors in the region: Nuclear Jobs in the Nuclear sector include existing generation, decommissioning, nuclear defence and civil new build.
25% of recruitment in 2018 into the Civil Nuclear Sector came from Apprenticeships or Graduates Training schemes including Kickstart, Apprenticeships, Bootcamps and Restart will encourage more young people and women into the nuclear sector.<br>
slide20. Aerospace Currently there are 180 aerospace companies in the region, employing over 9,000 people
Very few of these employees could currently be categorised as working in the low carbon sector<br>
slide21. The West of England
Institute of Technology (WEIoT) Has been developed in response to demand for engineers which is a collaboration between five education partners and employer partners.
It will “equip people with the skills to fully participate in, and contribute to, economic growth driven by digital innovation and emerging technologies.” Colleges collaborating on Advanced Engineering and High Value Manufacturing<br>
slide22. Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Points<br>
slide23. Solar photovoltaic
(PV) West of England Combined Authority has a good solar resource relative to the wider UK which is an asset to the region
Across the UK, household uptake of solar PV has increased dramatically over the past ten years, rising from under thirty-thousand solar PV sites in 2010 to over a million in 2019<br>
