The Skills for a Sustainable Skyline Taskforce will work at pace to identify and bridge skill gaps to ensure that Central London has a globally competitive sustainable commercial built environment which will help to retain the city鈥檚 world-leading reputation.
Key Challenges and Objectives

- 80% of over 100 industry professionals polled believed a lack of workplace diversity is an issue for the built environment sector. The Taskforce will develop solutions to improve diversity to address #greenskills shortages

The Taskforce is a three-year project to boost the supply of skilled workers for sustainable buildings. It will bring together employers, training providers and industry bodies from across the commercial built environment sector, as well as national and local government.
