UK launches drive to meet growing demand for clean energy workers

Britain announced a national plan on Sunday to train and recruit hundreds of thousands of workers for industrial jobs amid growing demand in the clean energy sector.
The government said that recent public and private investment in clean energy, such as renewables and nuclear, was driving a surge in demand for industrial workers, with plumbers, electricians, and welders especially sought after.
Under the new plans, five new colleges will train young people for clean energy careers, while a national programme will help connect workers with jobs in solar installation, wind turbine manufacturing, and nuclear power.
