Energy’s talent crisis: attracting the workforce of tomorrow

To transform the energy system, a skilled and educated workforce that can drive innovation in a climate-conscious world is required. As the modern workforce ages, this poses a significant threat, especially as many young people – 44% of Millennials and 62% of Generation Z – see energy careers as unappealing. To achieve the energy transition, businesses must bridge the gap between four diverse generations.

Attendee Insight:

Share strategies on how the sector can overcome generational differences that the modern-day workforce poses to empower the workforce of today and engage the talent of tomorrow.
