Next-gen thinking: empowering the energy leaders of tomorrow

In the words of Nelson Mandela, “The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow”. Nowhere is this truer than in the energy sector, where young people are playing an essential role in driving progress. The energy industry has a golden opportunity to build a more resilient, innovative and impactful workforce by engaging, investing in and empowering students and young adults from around the world. Through a combined focus on education, skills development, entrepreneurship, outreach, technical training and capacity-building programmes, we can build skills and expertise that will advance critical energy agendas for years to come. Online campaigns can be used to drive engagement among young people and raise awareness about training opportunities and professional development initiatives. Together, we can help prepare the leaders of tomorrow for successful careers in the global energy sector while accelerating sustainable development across the globe.
