What's Happening?
OPITO, a global skills body, has introduced a new Sustainability Training Standard aimed at supporting employers and learners in the energy sector. Developed in collaboration with governments, employers, and industry stakeholders, the standard provides
consistent training on sustainability topics and the evolving energy mix. It is designed to help the workforce understand alternative energy solutions and the global context for sustainability and climate change. The training covers key topics such as carbon emissions reduction, alternative energy sources like hydrogen and solar, and policies driving the transition to net-zero emissions.
Why It's Important?
As the world moves towards cleaner energy solutions, the need for a skilled workforce that understands sustainability is crucial. OPITO's training standard addresses this need by providing a practical route for industries to prepare their employees for the demands of the energy transition. This initiative supports global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promotes the adoption of alternative energy sources. By equipping the workforce with the necessary skills, OPITO is contributing to the broader goal of achieving a sustainable energy future.
