Deploying net zero strategies and expanding the adoption of green technologies requires a workforce equipped with specific skillsets that are increasingly in demand.
This brings workforce challenges, such as hiring, up-skilling and reskilling, that policymakers and industry must address.
In this one-hour webinar, in partnership with IEEE, hear from leaders who are hiring into evolving teams as they shed light on the ongoing efforts to identify, equip and acquire the workforce with technical and other climate-related skills.Â
Key takeaways will include:
Â
• Get a clear understanding of what skill gaps are being faced by business when it comes to the green transition
• Understand what adaptations are being made by senior management to account for the development of more climate-related roles
• See how professional organisations can contribute to making the workforce more fit for the green transformation
• Develop your knowledge of the skills and profiles emerging and needed for a net zero future, and the impact this has on industry, policy, education and training
