Renewable Energy Skills Partnership - Adressing the Skills Challenges


The Renewable Energy Skills Partnership - which GCP Europe is one of the co-coordinators - has updated its recently published skills paper, where it identified 4 priorities and 18 recommendations, by including best practice examples from across Europe related to renewable energy trainings.

These practices include:

  • RenewAcad - Net0Academy, 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 - The Association of European Renewable Energy Research Centres’ 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
