Explore green occupations
IfATE have identified green themes which are particularly important to the UK reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The green theme maps allow you to explore green occupations linked to these themes.
Discover Skills Bootcamps
Skills Bootcamps are free courses for learners of up to 16 weeks, giving individuals the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills, with an offer of a job interview with an employer on completion.
Known as IfATE, we work with employers to develop, approve, review and revise apprenticeships and technical qualifications. We are transforming and improving the skills system by putting employers at the heart and making it easier to navigate for all.
An independent chair oversees IfATE, leading a board of employers and business leaders to shape our work. Our work aims to make sure apprenticeships and technical education are of the highest quality. This helps to give every employer and individual the skills they need to succeed.
