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.
