Nuclear Power: Skilled Workers

Asked by Andrew BowieConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 13 February 2025UIN 29480

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the Energy Skills Passport will encourage oil and gas workers to find opportunities in the nuclear industry.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The initial version of the digital passport was launched in January 2025. This first phase will help oil and gas workers identify routes into several career roles in the offshore wind sector.

The Department and Scottish government are working with RUK/OEUK industry partners to identify how best to expand the scope and functionality of passport in the future.
