IRENA's Webinar on Renewable Energy Skills Needs and Education

Dear Colleagues,

 

IRENA's webinar on renewable energy skills needs and education is fast approaching. Make sure to register today to join the discussion.

 

The webinar aims to highlight the skills in demand in the public and private sectors, to identify skills shortages within sub-sectors, and to collect information on training and education, critical to develop a strong workforce in the renewable energy arena. The webinar will examine barriers and consider steps to address the skills needs in the sector.

 

IRENA estimates that the renewable energy sector employed as many as 5.7 million people worldwide in 2012. Yet despite this, there remains a critical shortage of skilled personnel to develop, design, finance, build, operate and maintain renewable energy projects, representing one of the greatest barriers to the wider diffusion of renewable energy technologies.
