Ireland is on the cusp of an energy revolution. The Green Tech Skillnet in partnership with Skillnet Ireland is proud to present our 2024 free training and work-placement programme designed to upskill Ireland’s ambitious jobseekers to join the revolution.
Irish Renewable Energy and Energy Efficient Retrofit are taking front and centre stage in the Governments Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021.
Many countries, including Ireland, are looking to green growth as the way out of the current economic crisis. UN research indicates that green investment programmes create more jobs per Euro or Dollar spent than many other stimulus programmes.
In Wind, Ireland has approximately 5,150 jobs at across approximately 4,332 MW of wind generation across just over 300 wind farms. The target set by the Irish Government in the Climate Action Plan is to have a total generation capacity of 9 GW of onshore wind and 7 GW of offshore wind by 2030 and there is huge job potential growth in this area over the next decade.
SEAI estimate between 25,000 jobs could be supported by a full-scale programme nationally and provides a massive employment, economic and climate action opportunity for Ireland whilst contributing to a Just Transition.
These courses are dynamic, engaging and impactful to society around us. Will you make your impact and join the green revolution?
