3t Energy Group (3t) has been selected to develop an Energy Skills Passport with OPITO as part of a competitive tender process. A first-in-industry digital solution to help workers identify gaps and gain the training, skills and certifications they need to work flexibly across the offshore energy sector. OPITO was awarded £5 million from The Scottish Government’s Just Transition Fund to deliver the Energy Skills Passport in collaboration with partners.
The contract for the development of the Energy Skills Passport which will transform how offshore energy workers transition between sectors has been awarded to 3t Transform, an industry-leading learning technology business part of 3t Energy Group.
With the strong leadership, support and commitment of a cross-industry working group and made possible by the recent £5 million award from the Scottish Government’s flagship Just Transition Fund, the Energy Skills Passport is expected to be deployed in 2023.
OPITO, on behalf of the UK oil and gas sector and with the support of the Energy Skills Alliance, published the Integrated People and Skills Strategy (PSS) in May 2022, highlighting the benefits of a just and managed energy transition for the energy workforce, industry, governments and communities.
The Energy Skills Passport was a commitment within the first of five action plans, Aligning Offshore Energy Standards, to create an aligned training and standards framework across oil and gas, offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture, utilization and storage – a priority for the workforce, trade unions and companies alike.
