Help us to identify skills needed for the energy transition

Look out for the new EAGE interactive tool we are creating to make it easier for members to assess which skills they may need in the emerging energy transition era. The idea is to identify courses that can help you acquire the required skills, providing a comparison between current and future role skills profiles. Members will be able to choose from a dropdown list of existing and potential future roles and assess which technical skills are relevant and how this might work in practice.

We are keen to ensure that the recommendations proposed by the interactive tool meet your needs, connecting you with our available EAGE education programmes and finding out where there may be gaps that can be covered by new courses. To do this, we have put together a concise survey consisting of four questions that require only a few minutes to complete. Responses will remain anonymous and will help us identify the technical skills required for the energy transition.

You can fill in the survey by scanning the QR code, or by visiting our Energy Transition Hub at eage.org/ energytransition.

Here’s how to upskill for the coming energy transition

Do you have the technical skills to face energy transition challenges? That is the question. If you’re not sure, then a new programme on our e-learning platform –learninggeoscience.org – could be just what you are looking for.

‘Navigating Career Challenges and Opportunities of the Energy Transition’ starting on 24 August is designed for geoscientists and engineers who want to boost or switch their careers; take responsibility for their own professional development; or want to be prepared to deal with anticipated changes. It all provides the opportunity to learn as part of a group, rather than in silo.

The programme lasts for five weeks and consists of six online group coaching meetings with self-paced tasks that are centred on experiences and presentations. Participants are expected to develop and maintain their confidence throughout the programme by defining their goals and direction in their journey towards reskilling and upskilling.
