Changing our economy without leaving anyone behind: between five and fifteen years
Focused support for people in at-risk jobs: collaboration to merge resources from education, adult skills, social security, and industry to create focused support for people working in ‘at risk’ industries, as well as for people who would like to return to the labour market.
Pride in green jobs campaign: develop a campaign where the stories of people who do work that contributes to meeting the climate challenge are given space to tell their stories, so we can share in the pride and purpose of their work.
Financial support for people moving from at-risk roles: develop a protocol which creates financial provision for people working in ‘at risk’ industries, as part of the offer to incentivise retraining.
Mobility Credits expansion: explore creating a regional vehicle scrappage scheme wherein it is more advantageous to swap a petrol powered car for a travel pass or CAZcompliant secondhand car than it is to trade it for a new vehicle. This is currently being piloted in the West Midlands as ‘Mobility Credits’. A variant on this policy could be introduced for business with significant fleet.
