26 Mar 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393)

Is there a risk, as we have seen in some other sectors, of the creation of a two-tier workforce and importing skills from elsewhere?

26 Mar 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393)

Anna, this is my final question. In terms of the potential drawbacks of importing that skilled labour, do you think there is anything that could come from importing that knowledge that would benefit local workforces?

26 Mar 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393)

With the changing set of jobs that come with this transition, James, do you think that there is anything the Government could do to ensure that supply and demand for labour matches across the entirety of the country? You mentioned in your opening comments that there was a risk of things being concentrated in London and

Do you think there is a need to recruit from abroad to deliver clean energy by 2030 and to decarbonise buildings by 2050? They are pr

There is a need to get that experience passed on.

26 Mar 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393)

We are not going to do that until the demand is there.

26 Mar 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 393)

Demand has to come first before we get the trainers, before we do two to three years of training for these people and then they have another two, three, four, five years to get the experience to be able to do this. That sounds like a long way off.

In terms of immediate need and if we were to require skills support from other countries, is there a sense of which countries we would require them to come from or where there is an excessive glut of said skilled individuals?
