Recommendation 19
19
Paragraph: 77
Ensure adequate funding for local training programmes and make business support conditional on upskilling employees.
Recommendation
The Government should ensure that mayoral combined authorities or local councils— especially those that govern strategically important sites where gigafactories could be built—have adequate and flexible funding to tailor support local training programmes. Offers of financial support to businesses in the battery supply chain should be conditional on these companies investing in upskilling and reskilling employees from the automotive industry and other sectors.
