Recommendation
By the end of 2021, the Government should set out how it will adapt its Careers Strategy to align with its net zero and environmental goals, including how it will reach different groups of the population to increase awareness of green job opportunities and how to access them, such as through its careers and youth hubs and Jobcentre Plus. (Paragraph 155) Green Jobs 67
Government Response Summary
The government rejects updating the Careers Strategy as it has been superseded by the Skills for Jobs white paper, but states they are creating an enhanced careers programme aligned with net zero goals and that DWP is promoting green job opportunities through jobcentres and youth hubs.

We currently do not plan to update the careers strategy as it has been superseded by our Skills for Jobs white paper, which was published in January 2021. The white paper offers us an opportunity to create an enhanced careers programme, which we expect to be delivered in line with current government priorities, including its net zero and environmental goal. DWP is working across government, including with BEIS, and directly with industry, to identify green job opportunities and to promote them to jobseekers through our network of jobcentres, youth hubs and flexible interventions. We are also working to ensure that the right skills and wider employment support are in place to support people into green jobs.
