OPITO has launched a new energy industry council to act as a focal point to address the sector’s skills gap and competence challenges across the UK and Europe.

The purpose of the Industry Advisory Council (IAC), as an evolution of OPITO’s 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.

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.

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.

“With input from committee members from across the energy mix, the IAC’s 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’s future offering.” Stephen Marcos Jones, CEO at OPITO.

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.
