This project is informed by four key drivers. First, that the transition to net zero will transform the economy and society, particularly for those working in declining oil and gas sectors and entering renewable and digital energy workforces. Second, that there is a lack of critical insight into the skill constitution of the new workforce. Third, that the policy support to enable the required skills transformation can be refined, and fourth, that already excluded or marginalised workforce demographics, including women and those from ethnic minorities, require targeted support. Drawing from an interdisciplinary approach, this PhD will provide a comprehensive and inclusive view of the skills impact of the energy transition in Scotland, including the potential realignment of investment in education, training, and work-related learning (WRL). With a particular focus on the energy sector, this PhD asks the following primary research question: what is impact of a transition away from O&G towards renewables for future skills in Scotland and how can upskilling, reskilling and engaging new entrants enable a Just Transition? In particular it aims to: To understand the Scottish context in relation to international and UK energy WRL literature. Ascertain how prepared the Scottish energy sectors is for these labour market transformations. Identify what barriers these sectors face in making these transitions. Identify how investment in education, training and WRL can be realigned to support these transitions. Identify how the skills base has changed due to these transformations and how is it likely to change in the future. Access the impact of these transformations on education, training and skills delivery. Investigate equality, diversity and inclusion barriers and opportunities and develop targeted recommendations for improvement in this area in particular. This co-created PhD will take a mixed methods approach combining primary and secondary research as well as quantitative and qualitative approaches. Methods include the desk-based analysis of secondary data, basic spatial mapping and semi-structured interviews.

该项目由四个关键驱动因素提供信息。首先，向净零的过渡将改变经济和社会，特别是对于那些在衰退的石油和天然气行业工作并进入可再生能源和数字能源劳动力的人。第二，对新劳动力的技能构成缺乏批判性的洞察力。第三，可以完善政策支持，以实现所需的技能转变，第四，已经被排斥或边缘化的劳动力人口，包括妇女和少数民族，需要有针对性的支持。从跨学科的方法绘制，这个博士将提供在苏格兰能源转型的技能影响的全面和包容性的观点，包括在教育，培训和工作相关的学习（WRL）投资的潜在调整。特别关注能源部门，这位博士提出了以下主要研究问题：从O&G向可再生能源过渡对苏格兰未来技能的影响是什么，以及如何提高技能，重新技能和吸引新进入者实现公正的过渡？特别是它的目的是：了解苏格兰的背景下，国际和英国能源WRL文学。确定苏格兰能源部门对这些劳动力市场转型的准备情况。确定这些部门在实现这些转变时面临的障碍。确定如何调整教育、培训和WRL投资，以支持这些转型。确定技能基础如何因这些转变而发生变化，以及未来可能发生的变化。了解这些变革对教育、培训和技能传授的影响。调查平等、多样性和包容性方面的障碍和机会，并制定有针对性的建议，特别是在这一领域的改进。这个共同创建的博士学位将采取混合方法，结合初级和二级研究以及定量和定性方法。方法包括基于案头的二级数据分析，基本的空间映射和半结构化访谈。
