Workshop on The Future of Energy Skills

This workshop will bring together policymakers, energy companies, trade unions, educational institutions, international organisations and researchers to explore pressing methodological and policy questions relating to the future of energy employment and skills development. Over the course of two days, participants will be able to share perspectives on the drivers and barriers of energy employment and skills development based on their regional and industry experience as well as the challenges they face in measuring and addressing workforce needs and planning for the delivery of adequate and quality training. 

The workshop will draw out priorities for policymakers, educators, firms and labour for a comprehensive research agenda on energy employment and skills, with a view to build a community of practice around this topic and providing inputs for the IEA’s upcoming publications on energy employment.

The workshop is organised in collaboration with the European Commission DG Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion as part of Clean Energy Ministerial Empowering People Initiative.

Participation is by invitation only.
