Student Energy, in partnership with<\/span> \u00d8rsted<\/span><\/a>, launched initial findings from the Energy Transition Skills Report at COP 27. The report contains survey results and recommendations from around 5,000 young people globally on how to create accessible and inclusive entry points for youth to enter and stay in careers that accelerate the global energy transition. The findings were delivered by Shakti Ramkumar, Student Energy\u2019s Director of Communications & Policy, at the Danish Pavilion last November 16th.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Energy Transition Skills Project was launched this year to identify the needs of ready young people for energy transition jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
