Skills Development and Inclusivity for Clean Energy Transitions
Ongoing energy transitions and decarbonisation efforts are poised to bring profound
shifts in the sector’s employment, including massive new opportunities for job creation
in clean energy. At the same time, traditional energy sectors will experience declining
job opportunities. In most cases, this will require the development of both new programmes
of education, certification and vocational training along with targeted upskilling
or reskilling programmes for the existing workforce. Several governments, companies
and industry organisations, among other stakeholders, are already developing robust
educational and skills training programmes to meet the challenges of the workforce
transition. Therefore, a review of existing skills and training programmes can provide
valuable insights for others embarking on their own energy transitions. This report
compiles a collection of case studies from around that world that showcase programmes
designed to address skills development of workforces for energy transitions.
