The energy transition is multi-directional, dynamic and exciting. Just when you think you understand the prevailing direction… global trends, national politics and societal challenges create more uncertainty. To stay on track we need to appreciate it as an evolving system in all its complexity, one where the skills needs ebb and flow to match the policy and technology choices. Understand the system and we can adapt, act and influence.

So, let’s explore the energy transition through a skills lens. Creating energy for people and progress for society involves ‘search for better’ and strategic skills development is at the heart of maximising the positive opportunities for people.
