National Net Zero Centre of Excellence for Skills

This is a new project, approved in December 2023. It will deliver industry led, green skills training and development by upskilling the local, regional and national labour markets with appropriate green skills to enable transition to a net zero economy, whilst supporting the development of local and regional low carbon projects.

The aim is to establish the facility as a central hub for national Research Development and Innovation activity, using the state of the art facilities to increase the number and quality of low carbon businesses in the region, promoting further investment and innovation. The skills provision will be collocated with the Advanced Manufacturing Production Facility.
