A LABOUR government would create an “offshore skills passport” to allow workers to move between fossil fuels and renewables, Ian Murray has…
Offshore workers may currently need to duplicate training when moving between the two sectors, increasing costs and the length of time it takes to change jobs.
“Labour will support our world class, world leading offshore workforce with the recognition they deserve and support the transition to renewables jobs in the future.“This is an area the UK Government and Scottish Government can and should work in partnership to deliver for Scotland and harness the potential we have to truly lead the world in renewables jobs.“The present situation, where training in one industry isn’t recognised in the other, cuts off opportunities for oil and gas workers.
Meanwhile, Andrew Bowie , the Tory candidate for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine, said the best way to ensure the oil and gas jobs in Scotland transition to renewables is by “showing Labour the door — before they get the chance to turn off the taps overnight”. “Skills passports are one part of the solution, and that’s why the cross-industry group OPITO is already engaging on a UK-wide basis, to look at how technical and safety standards can align.
