Demand for green skills in Ireland surged by over 22.1% last year, significantly surpassing the global average increase of 11.6%. The latest Labour Market Pulse report, published by IDA Ireland in partnership with Microsoft and LinkedIn, indicates that one in eight jobs now requires green skills. Key industries leading this trend include utilities, construction, and manufacturing, with a growing need for sustainable practices across various sectors. Industry leaders emphasize the importance of upskilling to meet this urgent demand and support Ireland’s transition to a zero-carbon future.
