I support the policy's intention to develop the skills and potential of Bradford's workforce, particularly its' young people, but I am very disappointed that there is little mention of 'Green' jobs. The opportunities are almost endless in terms of skills development, apprenticeships, new enterprise and sustainable jobs provided by, for example, the need to bring the area's old housing stock up to high levels of insulation and energy conservation, ‘greening’ home energy by fitting solar panels, heat pumps etc, tree-planting, the management of habitat for flood protection and biodiversity – the list could go on.
