英国的电力行业在未来二十年面临着更新老化网络和容纳新一代，特别是可再生能源的重大挑战。因此，该行业需要招聘新一代合格的电气工程毕业生。本文介绍了IET电力学院，成立于2004年，以吸引工程毕业生进入电力行业内就业。2008年，17家公司和7所英国领先大学正在合作实施该计划，每年提供60多个奖学金。奖学金包括助学金、大学学费、带薪休假培训和年度研讨会。迄今为止，该计划可以被认为是成功的，尽管挑战仍然存在，包括说服更多的中学和大学毕业生在大学学习电气或电子工程。随着时间的推移，虽然该行业预计将在很大程度上解决与毕业生招聘相关的问题，但职业生涯中期的支持和保留可能会成为一个关键问题。
The power industry in the UK faces major challenges over the next two decades to renew ageing networks and accommodate new generation, especially renewables. As a consequence, the industry needs to recruit a new generation of well-qualified electrical engineering graduates. This paper describes the IET Power Academy, established in 2004 to attract engineering graduates into employment within the power industry. In 2008, 17 companies and 7 leading UK universities are collaborating in the scheme with over 60 scholarships being offered each year. The scholarship package includes a bursary, a contribution to university fees, paid vacation training and an annual seminar. The scheme can be judged to have been a success to date, though challenges still remain, including persuading greater numbers of school and college leavers to study electrical or electronic engineering at university. As time goes on, while the industry can expect to have largely addressed issues associated with graduate recruitment, mid-career support and retention is likely to emerge as a key concern.
