The Renewable Construction Academy and LSP Renewables Embark on a Joint Mission to Address the Growing Demand for Skilled Workers

A collaboration to upskill the Renewable Energy workforce and facilitate smoother career transitions from related industries, contributing to the success and sustainability of the sector


1st June 2023 - The Renewable Construction Academy, RECOA, and LSP Renewables have entered a strategic partnership with the ambition to ensure sustainable growth of the renewable energy industry by educating, upskilling, and recruiting talent into a fast-growing industry that currently faces a significant skills gap and resource challenges. 

 

The Renewable Construction Academy is devoted to training, educating, and upskilling the workforce to promote a universal terminology and standard for roles in the renewable energy industry by offering global, role-based training courses and education programmes. The collaboration with LSP Renewables and other industry partners forms part of the overall strategy to support the buildout of renewable energy worldwide, with the ultimate goal being to nurture a new generation of better-educated renewable professionals.  Other ambitious stakeholders are cordially invited to join this crucial mission, as broader participation will significantly amplify its impact on the industry. 

 

For LSP Renewables, this partnership opens the way to facilitate and make available education to their own team of recruiters, giving them further insight into the industry's complex and highly skilled role requirements, ultimately making better placements and recruitments. The collaboration also aims to develop and support LSP candidates in their careers by giving them the opportunity to be trained, educated and upskilled directly in the roles they wish to pursue in the renewable energy sector and in turn, benefit their clients, who will have a better qualified and broader range of candidates available to them.  

 

By leveraging their collective expertise, this collaboration will educate, upskill, and recruit talent into this fast-growing industry and will be part of addressing the industry-wide skills gap and labour shortage.  

 

Martin Warming, Founder of RECOA, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Being an academy fuelled by industry-centric knowledge, established to satisfy the need for a skilled workforce in the renewable energy sector, we recognise the need to continuously listen to the market’s wants and needs. LSP Renewables is a strong partner which core business is exactly that: identifying the needs for human resource of the industry and seeking to satisfy this need by finding suitable and qualified candidates for their clients. Acting as a sounding board, LSP Renewables can contribute to our development programme by sharing insights into the market needs and movements, allowing us to continuously develop courses and education programmes that are relevant and tailored to renewable professionals. 

 

CEO of LSP Renewables, Adam Grainger comments, “Our partnership with RECOA allows us to tangibly address the widening skills gap present in the offshore wind industry. Millions of additional skilled professionals will be needed to join the offshore wind industry over the next two decades, to help deliver the world’s climate and energy security goals. Partnering with RECOA demonstrates LSP Renewables’ commitment to identifying and supporting talented individuals’ transition into the sector.  I look forward to working with the RECOA team to deliver talented individuals to our customer base, with the right support necessary to succeed in their new roles.”
