Recommendation 22

We recommend that the UK and Scottish Governments work in tandem with industry in identifying the jobs and skills gaps in the existing workforce. Industry should work in cooperation with the UK Government to ensure their policies and initiatives are complementary. Industry alongside the Scottish Government should develop and implement a clear plan for transition and re-training its workforce– in light of the Scottish Government’s presumption against further oil and gas exploration and no nuclear in Scotland–and this could be supported by organisations such as Hydrogen UK.
