The competition for green talent is increasing.
Clean energy employment has now overtaken fossil fuels, reflecting a global shift towards a more sustainable future. However, the transition towards automation, electrification and digital manufacturing has created a widening skills gap, one that has the potential to hinder progress towards net-zero.

This report examines key challenges and opportunities facing the industry in the race for green talent and how organizations need to rethink traditional hiring models to maintain momentum in the race for green skills.

Inside the report:
• By the end of 2023, clean energy jobs outnumbered fossil fuel roles for the first time.
• There will be a shortfall of nearly one-fifth of the green talent needed to meet climate goals in the next five years.
• The acceleration of AI is accelerating the need for green energy skills.

Why it matters:
The green skills revolution is at risk of losing momentum due to a growing skills gap. Employers must rethink how they attract, train and retain talent by bridging digital, green and technical capabilities.

This report provides an overview of the green skills landscape, the challenges and what needs to be done to tackle the talent shortage.

The global industrial landscape is undergoing a profound transformation.
Manufacturing and engineering services remain central to global economic growth. Clean energy employment has now overtaken fossil fuels, reflecting a decisive shift towards a more sustainable future. Defense spending continues to accelerate, while the automotive sector is experiencing its fastest evolution in decades as electric vehicles reshape global markets.

This report examines key challenges and opportunities facing the industry, including what candidates have, what they want and how this matches up with employer needs.

• 63 % of manufacturing workers now list flexibility as a top factor in job choice.

Why it matters:
The Energy, Engineering and Industrial sectors are at the heart of global transformation. As automation, AI and clean energy reshape how we design, build and power the world, the demand for new skills is outpacing supply. Traditional talent pipelines can no longer keep up. Employers must rethink how they attract, train and retain talent by bridging digital, green and technical capabilities.

The mismatch between the skills employers need and the skills graduates bring isn’t new but Industry 4.0 has made it urgent.

As automation, AI, and the green transition reshape industries, education systems are struggling to keep pace. STEM enrolments are rising, yet the fastest-growing fields, from engineering to data and AI, face persistent shortages. Meanwhile, employers continue to report deficits in soft skills such as communication, leadership, and adaptability.

This report examines how universities, businesses, and policymakers can work together to bridge the gap. From skills-based hiring and lifelong learning to apprenticeships and digital academies, it highlights practical steps to build a workforce ready for the future of work.

Inside the report:

  • One in three university enrolments now in STEM but gaps still remain in engineering and IT
  • Graduate hiring has fallen 15% since 2024 while apprenticeships grow 5% annually
  • Employers prioritizing data literacy, leadership and communication as core capabilities
  • Only one in four employers believe school leavers are work-ready
  • Case study: How skills-based pathways helped a defence client fill hard-to-hire roles

Why it matters:

Industry 4.0 is redefining employability. Education alone can’t meet the speed of transformation; organizations must rethink how they source, train, and develop talent. By focusing on skills over credentials, investing in lifelong learning, and embedding soft skills into every stage of development, employers can turn the skills crisis into a competitive advantage.

This report offers a data-driven roadmap to help you understand where the gaps are, what’s driving them, and how to respond with strategies that build a future-ready workforce.
