Energy Skills Challenge Fund
- Energy Skills Challenge Fund
- Our Services
The Energy Skills Challenge Fund, managed on behalf of the
Scottish Government by Skills Development Scotland (SDS), enables
new entrants into Scotland's energy sector to pick up
qualifications necessary for working in renewables, oil and gas,
subsea and micro-renewables.
A total of 10 providers from across Scotland have received funding
to develop tailored courses designed to fast-track people into the
sector, helping people make their existing skills transferrable and
relevant to the energy sector.
It will also help new graduates or school-leavers fill
energy-related vacancies in the sector by providing courses in
essential disciplines such as diving and offshore safety.
The courses are the first step, with the fund supporting more than
900 transition training places in the past year.
