On 27 June 2024, Energy & Utility Skills delivered the ‘Careers of the Future’ webinar, led by the Sector Attraction & Retention Strategy Group.

The webinar examined future skills requirements and roles, regardless of entry routes (e.g., school leaver, graduate, industry mover). It opened with an overview of the anticipated skills demand over the next five years, highlighting a projected 650,000 vacancies, followed by insights from Employer organisations on what the future looks like for them, and concluding with a Q&A session.

Thank you to our speakers and representatives from Scottish Power, Anglian Water, FCC Environment, and Wales & West Utilities, who provided valuable insights into what future careers in the sector might look like:

  • Madeline McCreanor, Scottish Power
  • Bev Sands, Anglian Water
  • Adele Hall, FCC Environment
  • Zoe Jones, Wales & West Utilities

Two further webinars are planned for October 2024 and February 2025, focusing on graduate and apprenticeship roles. Notifications for these will be sent out closer to the time.
