Youth Misspent Podcast: Episode 5

Youth Misspent: Powering up the UK - attracting young people to the energy sector

Hosted by Andy Moss, Managing Director of City & Guilds, this episode takes a closer look at  the energy sector,  which is experiencing rapid, large-scale change. With the government having committed to ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector by 2035 this will mean a major shift away from the use of fossil fuels.  This change will undoubtedly bring new challenges for the energy sector, but it will also create an abundance of opportunities for people old and young to upskill and reskill in low carbon skills.

In this episode Andy is joined by:

• Grace McCrickard, Award winning learner and Senior Electrical Technician at JF Nuclear
• Mark Wilkin, Training Director at Vaillant Group
• David Nash, Director of Strategy and Policy at ECITB – the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board
