Qualified workforce

The energy transition is also referred to as the restructuring of the energy system, and this can also be understood in the literal sense. Whether it's the massive expansion of photovoltaics, more wind power or the replacement of old, fossil heating systems and thermal refurbishment - domestic trade and crafts are in demand. But know-how transfer is also needed in other areas, for example when a new energy efficiency label is introduced in the retail sector.

On the one hand, these are great opportunities with corresponding added value in the country; on the other hand, capacities and, above all, specialist skills need to be built up. This requires appropriate measures.

Qualification measures

The Austrian Energy Agency implements numerous – including international – projects that involve the training and qualification of workers. Low-threshold and innovative formats are developed and used.
