Powering Scotland's Future ⚡️ As Scotland continues to lead the way in renewable energy, the power transmission sector is more critical than ever. One of the key drivers behind this progress is the focus on training and professional development for our workforce. 🌍 In the past few years, we've seen a surge in initiatives aimed at upskilling professionals in the power transmission industry. From apprenticeships to advanced training programmes, these initiatives are designed to ensure our workforce is equipped with the latest skills and knowledge. For instance, the Scottish Government's Energy Skills Partnership (ESP) has been instrumental in providing tailored training solutions that align with industry needs. According to ESP, over 1,500 individuals have benefited from their programmes in the last year alone. 📚 Moreover, many companies are investing in continuous professional development (CPD) for their employees. This not only helps in retaining top talent but also ensures that the workforce is always ahead of the curve.

Often our good friend David Cohn laments our H1B system in America. “Why should we be encouraging H1B when there are so many Americans unemployed?” Here’s why. I 100% guarantee ExxonMobil is have major challenges filling all the niche Engineering roles on their career site. (PS there is an HR role listed) This is a larger issue and has to do with the US education system. (I also blame the Kardashians…but that’s for another post). Parents!! Encourage your children to pursue STEM in school….they will rarely find themselves unemployed. Look at these roles…some are incredibly specialized! https://lnkd.in/g3NzY9ve #AlwaysBeNetworking #UpdateYourLinkedInProfile #Engage #Pivot
