The Cardiff Capital Region Energy Vision and Strategy has been set out to help the region achieve a net zero energy system by 2050, in line with objectives set by the UK Government. Our Net Zero series of short courses and qualifications supports businesses and organisations to accelerate the decarbonisation and sustainability of our Region.

As part of the skills review for the region, employers working across Net Zero within CCR highlighted the urgency of attracting and retaining a workforce with the right skills and capabilities to enable sustainable growth and industry transformation. To support the skills priorities for the region, we have brought together a range of Net Zero related skills programmes to support and enhance the sector's growth.
