OPITO, an industry-led organisation committed to developing a safe, skilled and mobile energy workforce, has launched a new energy industry council to act as a focal point to address the sector\u2019s skills gap and competence challenges across the UK and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the Industry Advisory Council (IAC), as an evolution of OPITO\u2019s UK board, is to provide valuable guidance and input into the delivery of products and services related to skills, education, workforce development, industry promotion and training and standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a consensus-based, Europe-wide group, the IAC includes operators and supply chain companies representing the wider energy industry, academia and regulators as well as those that provide consultancy and research services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior representatives from BP, Equinor, Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC), Offshore Energies UK (OEUK), Robert Gordon University (RGU), Storegga, TotalEnergies E&P UK Limited, Unite the Union and Worley will participate in the IAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith input from committee members from across the energy mix, the IAC\u2019s core purpose is to ensure stakeholders have the correct access to training and qualifications to ensure the safety of our workforce remains at the core of operations for the entire industry. The transferability and development of skills is essential for industry growth across the UK and Europe. We are proud to be working with industry leaders who are eager to share their unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to shaping OPITO\u2019s future offering,\u201d said Stephen Marcos Jones, CEO at OPITO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Member organisations will benefit from collaborating on the future of skills across the energy industry, as well as having a platform to showcase good practice and in-depth market perspectives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
