SSE has confirmed its commitment to support the next generation of Scotland's energy workers by committing to the Young Person's Guarantee.

The energy provider said that achieving net zero will take a skilled and diverse workforce and supporting more young people into a career in energy will help build the green army delivering a sustainable future.

Operating at the front-line of efforts to deliver a low-carbon future SSE's projects are creating thousands of jobs and opportunities across the country as we deliver £4m of investment, every day, in low-carbon energy and electricity infrastructure over the next five years.

The Guarantee means as a group we will look to extend our current entry level opportunities and utilise the apprenticeship family across our businesses.

John Stewart, HR Director at SSE said: "As a leading employer in Scotland it is vital that we offer young people a chance to build a career with long term, sustainable prospects.

"Our business is investing £4m a day in low-carbon energy and electricity infrastructure over the next five years . But in order to deliver on ours and the UK's ambitions we're going to need a skilled green army of energy employees.

"By committing to the Young Person's Guarantee we're ensuring the prospects of millions of young people are well aligned with a key growth sector in energy."
