A cross-skilling pilot in Aberdeen and Grangemouth has advanced efforts to build an integrated technician workforce across oil, gas and wind sectors. The six-week programme supports a more balanced energy transition by enabling skilled technicians to move between industries. Eight participants completed the course in Grangemouth last week, and a further seven are expected to finish in Aberdeen this Friday. Developed by the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB), with the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) and the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, the pilot aimed to support flexible deployments across infrastructure in both sectors.
