12 June 2024 – The Renewable Energy Skills Partnership has updated its recently published skills paper, where it identified priorities and 18 recommendations, by including best practice examples from across Europe related to renewable energy trainings.
These practices include:
- Wind Power Energy, an academy of counseling and vocational training for renewable energy sources.
- Green Tech Skillnet, an Irish training provider who works with employers to understand urgent skills needs in renewable electricity.
- EUREC’ Master Programmes for various renewable technologies.
- OHKW – Ohne Hände keine Wende’s career change courses.
- PRODEVAL’s in-house training centre.
The Partnership is calling on the European Commission to:
- Prioritise renewable energy skills and workforce building in policymaking
- Boost the visibility and attractiveness of technical, scientific, and engineering careers in the renewables sector
- Foster recognition and mobility in educational pathways and the job market
- Ensure a strong and swift response to skills needs
