Energy & Utility Skills (EU Skills) is the Sector Skills Council for the electricity, gas, waste management and water industries.
We engage with employers and give them ‘a voice’ on skills issues facing the energy and utilities sector. We drive the employer led qualifications strategy, support the development of vocational learning and promote sector entry and career development.
The energy and utilities sector is fundamental to the wellbeing of the UK economy. Most of the time we take them for granted, we are so used to having energy and water supplies on demand that we only notice when something goes wrong.
Despite the fact that these industries are so vital to our lives they are experiencing severe skills shortages, this is largely due to an ageing workforce. The sector employs over 530,000 so there is a wide range of opportunities available. Demand is high for skilled engineers and technicians, scientists, operatives and customer care staff.
