About Energi Coast Skills Group Webinar
As we journey to Net Zero and with UK Government plans to power every home in the UK with offshore wind – skills in offshore wind have never been so important.
The Energi Coast Skills Group leads the reviewing of the future skills need in the sector, and is coordinating skills pathways with institutions and training providers.
This webinar will showcase the work of the Skills Group and explore the support available for local businesses around skills funding and knowledge, including a new bespoke programme for SMEs.
We have assembled a strong programme of speakers and panelists to discuss how they are currently involved in skills and what they are doing to support local schools.
