NERC has published ?Most Wanted II ? Postgraduate and Professional Skills Needs in the Environment Sector?, a refreshed and updated report that identifies essential environmental science skills that are in short supply.
Both the first report (2010) and the second ?refreshed? report (2012), are based on information provided directly by the environmental sciences sector about the skills gaps that exist in the UK workforce.
The results of the ?refresh? exercise show that the skills gaps identified in the first report still persist. These include areas such as computer modelling, multi-disciplinary working, data management, numeracy and skills in translating research into practice.
The ?Most Wanted II? document details the 15 most critical skills gaps. It is designed to help guide students when making career choices, and to highlight priority areas for investment.?
The Most Wanted reports form an important resource to help enable the UK to develop and apply new technologies, respond to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather, and improve our knowledge and understanding of environmental issues.
