With renewable energy jobs hitting 12.7 million globally, the demand for skilled workers is greater than ever. From apprentices through to senior roles, there are endless opportunities across a wide range of skills and experience within the renewable energy sector, however the market is still greatly under resourced. 

LSP Renewables consistently support skilled workers with their transition into the industry and offer guidance to help upskill existing workers whilst all the while providing meaningful insight to global renewable energy leaders on the skills shortage we are facing, and how we can work together to improve the situation.

Millions of additional skilled professionals will be needed to join the offshore wind industry over the next two decades, to help deliver the world’s climate and energy security goals. Partnering with RECOA demonstrates LSP Renewables’ commitment to identifying and supporting talented individuals’ transition into the sector.  I look forward to working with the RECOA team to deliver talented individuals to our customer base, with the right support necessary to succeed in their new roles.’
