Recommendation
We recommend that the cooperative approach between the UK and Scottish Governments on skills training and jobs continues, not least because of the mixture of reserved and devolved competencies when it comes to energy, education and skills. On at least a biannual basis, the UK and Scottish Governments should jointly set out work they are undertaking to ensure that colleges, training providers and businesses within the hydrogen and CCUS sectors are able to offer appropriate routes into employment and training, and providing this information should be viewed as a priority. Incorporated into this analysis, both the UK and Scottish Governments should also provide regular updates on progress against their estimated jobs forecasts in the medium term.
Government response summary AI-generated
The UK Government states it is already supporting green jobs, skills and industries through the North Sea Transition Deal and the Integrated People and Skills Strategy, which was published by OPITO, and that the Hydrogen Sector Development Plan (2022) also covers these issues.
