BBC Radio 4 - Costing the Earth, Jobs for a Green Future

Do we have the skilled workers to transform the UK into a net zero economy?

Does the UK workforce have the skills to transform our economy and meet the government's net zero commitments? Tom Heap investigates.

UK commitments to phase out gas boilers and petrol cars may be good news for the environment, but do we have the skill to realise our ambitions? Where are all the trained workers able to fit heat pumps in our homes and electric car chargers along our roads? In this programme, Tom Heap joins trainees as they learn the skills they'll need in a greener economy, and asks how we will staff up the next industrial revolution.

Presented by Tom Heap and produced by Emma Campbell.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
