It highlights the increased demandforskilled workers in these sectors and the need to address skilledlabourshortages. The report identifies barriers which are currently hinderingenergyeducation and training. It also discusses policy measures aimed atattracting more people to the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors andproviding them with the necessary training. The report includes new IEA analysis on online job postings in renewable energyand energy efficiency, and IEA modelling on energy employment from 2024 as thelast full year of data available at the time of publication. The analysis also drawsfrom stakeholder input from two in-personFuture of Energy Skillsworkshops co-ordinated by the IEA and the European Commission and the results from threeIEA surveys conducted in 2025 with over 700 respondents: theIEA IndustryEmploymentSurvey,IEA Labour Employment Survey and IEA Educators’Employment Survey.
