Future jobs in Tees Valley
19th August 2022
Tees Valley is promoting a #staylocalgofar campaign to highlight some of the brilliant opportunities earmarked for growth in the region. This comes on the back of two prestigious developments- The Teesside Freeport and the government’s Treasury Northern Headquarters being located in Darlington.
The Tees Valley Strategic Economic Plan identifies 7 ‘priority sectors’ which, it is hoped, will provide loads of future jobs for our young people. They are;
- Advanced Manufacturing
- Process, chemicals and energy
- Logistics
- Health and biologics
- Digital and creative
- Culture and leisure
- Business and professional services
Of course, there are many other sectors which also provide great opportunities for our young people. For example all of the growth sectors above need essential business services such as finance, administration and sales & marketing. Other sectors although much smaller and possibly in decline overall, still need new people to replace existing staff approaching retirement.
