THE North East is expected to benefit from 15,000 extra clean energy jobs as part of new plans to train up the UK's industrial workforce.

A national training plan has been drawn up to train the next generation of workers amid Government plans for the nation to become a clean energy superpower.

Employment levels nationally are expected to double to 860,000 by 2030, with the North East pledged to benefit from up to 20,000 clean energy jobs by 2030, an increase of up to 15,000 from 2023.

Key skills needed in the region include trades such as electricians, bricklayers and plumbers as well as engineers and metal workers, with the largest clean energy employer expected to be in carbon capture projects.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said: "Communities have long been calling out for a new generation of good industrial jobs.
