The Renewable Energy Skills Partnership has issued a new policy statement, “Unlocking Renewable Energy Skills: Micro-Credentials & Certification for a Green and Competitive Europe”, urging the EU to take bold action to prepare its workforce for the clean energy transition.

Europe must create 3.5 million renewable energy jobs by 2030 to deliver on the Green Deal and maintain global competitiveness. Yet fragmented certification systems and slow uptake of micro-credentials are limiting workforce mobility and slowing progress. “Europe cannot achieve its green and digital transitions without a future-ready workforce,” stresses the RE Skills Partnership, “Micro-credentials and harmonised certification are powerful tools to unlock skills, scale innovation, and strengthen Europe’s competitiveness. The time to act is now.”

The Renewable Energy Skills Partnership brings together leaders across the renewable energy value chain to ensure a well-trained workforce for the just transition.
