The Government's latest analysis of future skills needs is set out in the Skills England annual skills report and Sectoral Skills Needs Assessments 2026, which provides an assessment of current and future skills demand and supply across ten priority sectors.

The report is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skills-england-annual-skills-report-and-sectoral-skills-needs-assessments-2026

Skills England has not undertaken a dedicated assessment of future skills requirements in the waste and resource management sector.
