British Wind Energy Association Skills Report

SKILLS AND EMPLOYMENT IN THE WIND, WAVE AND TIDAL STREAM INDUSTRIES

In summer 2008, BWEA commissioned Bain & Company and SQW to produce a linked pair of reports investigating the subject of skills and employment in the wind, wave and tidal stream industries. Published at BWEA30, these studies show that there is a huge opportunity for 'green collar' jobs in the industry, but also that many actors will have to work together to ensure delivery of the skills required. BWEA will use these reports to inform its strategy on skills and employment in the future.

• Bain & Co have produced estimates of current employment in the wind sector, future employment based on scenarios of delivery in 2020, and an analysis of the skills shortages affecting the industry. Click here to download this report (PDF format)
• SQW have surveyed the skills 'landscape' to inform BWEA of the actors involved and the actions that our industry and others must undertake to bring forward a suitably skilled workforce. Click here to download this report (PDF format)
