Developing Technical Competency & Capability in a Youthful Energy Industry
Time: 1:30 pm
day: Pre-Conference Day
Details:
This workshop will explore the importance of technical competency in the evolving landscape of renewable energy. While many skills from oil and gas are transferable, renewables such as solar, wind and BESS construction, operation and monitoring require specialized knowledge. Attendees will discuss strategies for training and competency development to mitigate risks effectively in these emerging fields.
Key takeaways include:
- Understanding transferable skills and technical gaps in renewables
- Developing competency to avoid trial-and-error approaches in safety
- How competency levels can impact EHS procedures, with a focus on planning and adapting safety protocols to match the job-specific requirements and skills and knowledge of the workforce
- Strategies for assessing and managing competency challenges in real-time on the job site
