A significant deficit in skilled labour threatens to derail critical infrastructure projects and clean energy targets. It will also provide participants with essential life skills training, as well as access to real employment opportunities across National Grid, its suppliers and the wider energy and infrastructure sector. Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh said: “Demand for skilled workers in clean energy is growing thanks to our drive for clean power, which has attracted over £100bn in private investment.
