Where work is going

Clean energy

The energy transition is a skills story as much as a technology story. This pathway explores routes into the engineering, infrastructure and emerging-technology roles the transition is creating.

Industry area we're exploring — pathway in development

Why this area.

Green skills demand is growing faster than supply, and the roles are distributed across the country — often in the very communities where opportunity is scarcest. That overlap is precisely where Nextroute wants to work.

Skills in this pathway

  • Engineering
  • Infrastructure
  • Emerging technologies

What a pathway could look like.

Step 1

Understand demand

Identify which transition roles are genuinely accessible at entry level, and where.

Step 2

Shape the skills

With providers, align preparation to the certifications and practical skills those roles require.

Step 3

Build the bridge

Connect candidates to employers building the infrastructure, not just talking about it.

Step 4

Open the route

Employment and apprenticeships with progression tracked beyond the first placement.

To be clear: this is an industry area Nextroute is exploring, not an active programme with employer partners behind it. If you work in clean energy — as an employer, training provider or funder — your interest is what moves it from exploration to pathway.
