Labour slams Scottish government's Green Jobs Workforce Academy

LABOUR has slammed the Scottish government’s “sham” Green Jobs Workforce Academy as a sign-posting website hosting job adverts.

In the Budget, the SNP said that this would “ensure our workforce has the right skills to meet the requirements of a just transition by supporting existing employees.”
