Zero emission propulsion/renewable energy/sustainable manufacturing

Wednesday 2 April, 10am - 3pm

Session Overview

The East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) is focused on establishing the East Midlands Investment Zone (EMIZ) as a national region of excellence for green technology investors and businesses. It will also support investment to promote employment and productivity growth within target sectors. 

Within the EMIZ programme, skills and business support will be delivered to unlock opportunities for business and to address barriers to private sector growth, creating more high-quality jobs and opportunities for residents.

A series of ‘Skills Sprints’ have been commissioned to enable the necessary baseline activity to be undertaken to understand and invest in skills (Level 2-7) across a range of sectors and disciplines. 

You are invited to contribute to this Zero emission propulsion/Renewable energy/Sustainable manufacturing joint skills workshop to help formulate the roadmaps to address the known and predicted skills gaps around these three themes. As a subject matter expert and/or practitioner in the field, this is a key opportunity for you to contribute to: 

  1. Identify the skills base already in the EMCCA region; 
  2. Defining the skills required in the future to meet the ambitions of the EMIZ programme; 
  3. Highlighting any potential shortfall in skills areas.
