Careers in Renewable Energy

It's not often that an industry gets the exposure and support that the renewables sector has received in the last few years. But then there aren't many parts of the economy that have the potential to play such a vital part in our future.

Most people now accept the pressing need to take action to combat global warming. That’s why the UK government has set itself a target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by some 60% by the middle of the century. One of the ways it plans to achieve this is by increasing the proportion of our energy that comes from renewable sources.

This means that renewable energy is destined to become one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy over the coming years, with estimates of at least 35,000 new jobs being created. So why not be a part of it?
