Skills are often the number one priority for employers; and having individuals with the right skills and qualifications is essential for success.
Some young people may already know what they want to do, but many often don’t know what careers exist across South East Wales or how they would even find the job of their dreams.
To address this, the Cardiff Capital Region Skills Partnership (CCRSP) have developed a series of sector-specific guides focused on regional priority sectors through a Welsh Government ‘Young Persons Guarantee’ programme of work.
Advanced Materials and Manufacturing
Compound Semi-Conductors
Construction
Creative
Human Foundational Economy: Health, Education and Public Services
Human foundation economy: Hospitality, Retail and Tourism
The bilingual guides have been developed as a comprehensive resource for young people exploring their potential careers paths. The guides provide an overview of the priority sectors across South East Wales and are designed not only to inform but also to inspire young individuals and help them to discover the exciting opportunities across these key sectors.
The guides provide a broad overview of each of the CCRSP priority sectors, some valuable insights and information on the job roles available and earning potential. This demonstrates the ongoing commitment to deliver against the three-year CCRSP Employment and Skills Plan and reinforces commitment to addressing skills gaps and shortages faced by regional employers.
The guides can play a critical role in equipping young people with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their future.
