Evidence Gathering Sessions

In July 2021, we held a first stage evidence based session to discuss 'what does green skills mean'? and were presented with findings from Cornwall Marine Network and the Green Skills Taskforce. 

In November 2021 we hosted a scoping forum to take discussions from July and bring together Commissioners and industry to identify what skills will be required to transition to net zero. The scoping forum focused on the following questions:

  • Will your business need to reskill/retrain your workforce to transition to net zero? 
  • How will, or is, your business reskill/retrain your workforce to transition to net zero? 
  • What needs to happen for your business to reskill/retrain your workforce? 
  • What support will your business require to reskill/retrain your workforce?  
  • What will be your biggest challenge in reskilling/retraining 

The panel included:

  • Professor Graham Baldwin, Chair, Maritime Skills Commission
  • Allan Dickson, Second Engineer from Scotland and Nautilus International member 
  • Dr Iain Percy, CEO and David Tyler, Commercial Director, Artemis Technologies 
  • Allan Ralston, Director of Energy and Renewables, Harland and Wolff
  • Paul Wickes, Chief Executive Officer and Aurelie Nollet, Director of Strategic Development, Cornwall Marine Network
