The RTN Crown Estate - Offshore Wind Supply Chain Event
Birmingham – May 31st 2012
Steve Green, Director – The RTN
• Working for a Green Britain - July 2011 http://www.bwea.com/pdf/publications/Working_for_Green_Britain_V2.pdf
• “The UK Renewable Energy industry has the potential to
generate tens of thousands of jobs over the next ten
years”
• “A shortfall in skilled labour equivalent to 45,000
employees is a strong risk to this expansion”
• “The Renewables Training Network (RTN) will help skill
up new entrants to the sector, helping to meet this
shortfall”
Scale of the challenge
Research
Transition Points
What can RTN add?
• Where multiple courses exist we are reviewing these to
define core content, and Quality Assuring to provide
clearer training pathways
• Where no defined courses exist we will bring industry
partners together to develop courses for wider delivery
• RTN will work to open up clear and consistent training
paths aiding SME’s
Projections
• Our position at the heart of the Renewables industry
gives us unparalleled access to where the market is
going, and where the challenges will be
• We exist to level the training landscape
• SEMTA* states –
“Over 80% of sector companies are micro-
businesses employing 1-10 people. Companies of
this size are vital to the supply chain but often lack
the resources to plan, train and develop their
workforce”.
Benefits
• Easing SME’s access to training packages
• Enabling communication between SME’s and Major
Market participants
• A Highly skilled workforce ready to meet the challenges

UK Off-Shore Wind Skills
Rob Moore
National Skills Academy for Power
“…To ensure that our industries have the
skills they need now and in the future…”
A difficult starting point
Challenges across all sectors and industries.
An ageing skilled workforce
Fewer STEM qualified people available
An imbalance of skills distributed across the age range
Challenging economic climate
47
Challenges for the future energy
workforce. Energy companies will have to accommodate:
– Localised power generation
– Carbon Capture and Storage
– Generation technologies in homes and businesses
– SMART meters
– Off shore generation from wind and tidal
– Clean fossil fuel generation
– Biomass generation
48
New skills or new contexts?
The good news.
There are few new skills.
The skills we already deliver can be contextualised and repackaged to deliver most of the skills we need.
49
New skills or new contexts?
BUT!!!
The training infrastructure is not prepared.
Providers have neither the capability or capacity to deliver the contextualised skills needed in the numbers needed.
A clear demand for skills is essential to equip our training providers.
50
New packages of skills
Traditional job roles will need to take on new aspects and new skillsets:
New working locations and conditions
New combinations of traditionally diverse skills
(i.e. electrical/mechanical)
51
What is a ‘Renewables’ Job?
52
Not every renewables job is 100m in the air or 20 miles out to sea.

Questions impacting skills development
We do not currently have answers for the following questions, needed for an accurate prediction of regional labour requirements:
How much of the consented generation will be actually be deployed?
When will the generation capacity be deployed?
How much labour will be imported to the area and in which specific roles?
Where will the manufacturing activities take place?
55
• Lack of new entrants and cost efficient training
solutions results in poaching – unsustainable recruitment strategy.
• Employers lack the confidence to invest because of contractual uncertainties.
• Low volumes of trainees mean training programmes are not viable.
• Bringing SMEs into the market.
• Headcount issues.
