Clean tech scaling hampered by widening global skills gap · 1 source tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The clean technology sector is facing a significant bottleneck in scaling due to a widening skills gap, despite substantial investment and falling costs for technologies like solar and wind. The US solar industry, for example, is projected to need approximately 53,000 additional workers by 2026, with 86% of employers reporting difficulty filling positions. This labor shortage extends across the entire clean tech value chain, including electric vehicles and battery storage, impacting project costs and deployment speed. Both the US and Europe are experiencing this challenge, with evolving digital skill requirements adding another layer of complexity to workforce development. AI

IMPACT AI and emerging technologies are increasingly shaping the skills required in clean tech, necessitating workforce adaptation.
