Industry leaders have come together, as the Energy & Utilities Skills Partnership, to build and launch a joint Workforce Renewal and Skills Strategy for the sector. 

The strategy has been created to ensure the UK’s energy and utilities sector “retains a safe, skilled, resilient and sustainable workforce”.  

The Energy & Utilities Skills Partnership has already started to take action – including a commitment from 20 utility-based businesses to a new 12-month pilot programme that seeks to encourage people into industry careers and develop a significant future sector talent pool. 

The Talent Source Network aims to help employers access hard-to-reach and diverse individuals as well as encourage professionals who are looking for new opportunities or to retrain.
