Over 88,000 jobs in wind and marine energy industries by 2021

A new report has been published by RenewableUK and Energy & Utility Skills demonstrating the employment potential of the UK's wind and marine energy sector by 2021.

The report predicts that with a high growth scenario (51.8 GW) 115,000 full-time employees would be needed to work directly in the sector or supporting it by providing raw materials, manufacturing or supplying business support services by 2021.

The study gives this message to employers

Invest in your workforce, both current and future, and work with the providers of skills to ensure that they are meeting your requirements. The message for Government and skills providers is equally stark – the supply of appropriate skills to the labour market needs to ramp up rapidly over the coming years to meet rising demand. This applies both to young people entering the labour market and those looking for a career change

Here at Safety Technology we operate a one-stop-shop for all safety training required by the Renewables industry. Our training courses have also been deemed of most value to employers in developing the skills of their workforce by the Energy Utility Skills SPFP programme. This Government initiative provides up to 70% funding to employers who wish to train their workforce in these skills.

Safety Technology Ltd had a great time last week exhibiting at the Offshore Wind 2011 Exhibition and Conference in Liverpool.
