Workforce shortages pose challenges to clean energy industry

The clean energy industry is facing widespread workforce shortages, with companies struggling to find skilled labor across various sectors. The demand for builders, electricians, and other workers is outpacing the available supply, leading to labor challenges in clean energy projects. While there is a transition of workers from the fossil fuel industry to clean energy jobs, the skillsets do not always align. Efforts are needed to attract and train workers, starting from an early age, to address the workforce shortage in the long term.
