Businesses in Ireland are struggling to fill a rapidly growing number of sustainability-related or ‘Green Jobs’ due to a skills shortage.

Data from recruitment site Indeed show that since February 2019, there has been a 93% increase in the number of green jobs posted in Ireland. However, searches for these roles have decreased by 7% over the same period, indicating a mismatch in demand and supply.
