Net Zero Careers
To combat climate change and find the solutions to net zero, we need the most diverse group of people working together from all backgrounds and across different sectors.
A large, varied and skilled workforce is currently required to bring about the innovation and scale needed to face challenges ahead. A huge variety of job roles and flexible career progression are needed for a sustainable future which benefits a diverse range if people.
To tackle his workforce challenge, The Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC), has developed a Net Zero Industry visualisation tool has been developed to support young people and people who are reskilling. The Centre is the focal point of the green transformation in the UK’s industrial heartlands.
The tool encourages users to explore a wide range of sustainable and net zero career opportunities, displaying diverse job roles and pathways available to them.
In addition, Net Zero Industry provides inspirational career insights from those already working in sustainability and demonstrates how different sectors contribute to building a greener industrial future.
You can use their toolkit on the IDRIC website, and find out more about the projects to upskill the future workforce.
