Jobs and courses
As we move towards net zero, almost every job in Scotland will be affected. It’s important to make sure you have the skills to keep up with the changing demands of your job – that’s where we come in.
Scotland needs skilled people to carry out greener processes in every area of our lives. Not only will this transition towards net-zero create many new jobs, you may also need to learn new skills to keep up with the demands of your industry.
Taking advantage of courses and training opportunities can help you keep your skillset up to date.
Find job opportunities
As we learn more about green skills gaps in our industries, many new jobs and apprenticeship opportunities will be created.
