Supporting Research
• Working for a Green Britain - July 2011 http://www.bwea.com/pdf/publications/Working_for_Green_Britain_V2.pdf
• “The UK Renewable Energy industry has the potential to generate tens of thousands of jobs over the next ten years”
• “A shortfall in skilled labour equivalent to 45,000 employees is a strong risk to this expansion”
• “The Renewables Training Network (RTN) will help up skill new entrants to the sector, helping to meet this shortfall”

What can RTN add?
• Where multiple courses exist we are reviewing these to define core content, and Quality Assuring to provide clearer training pathways
• Where no defined courses exist we will bring industry partners together to develop courses for wider delivery
• RTN will work to open up clear and consistent training paths aiding SME’s

Projections
• Our position at the heart of the Renewables industry gives us unparalleled access to where the market is going, and where the challenges will be
• We exist to level the training landscape• SEMTA (Sector Skills Council for Science Engineering
and Manufacturing Technologies) states – “Over 80% of sector companies are micro-
businesses employing 1-10 people. Companies of this size are vital to the supply chain but often lack the resources to plan, train and develop their workforce”.

Benefits
• Easing SME’s access to training packages
