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推动。首先，向净零转型将改变经济和社会，特别是对于那些在衰退的石油和天然气行业工作以及进入可再生能源和数字能源劳动力市场的人来说。其次，缺乏对新劳动力技能构成的批判性洞察。第三，可以完善实现所需技能转型的政策支持；第四，已经被排除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。该博士将采用跨学科方法，对苏格兰能源转型的技能影响提供全面、包容的观点，包括教育、培训和工作相关学习 (WRL) 投资的潜在调整。该博士特别关注能源领域，提出了以下主要研究问题：从油气行业向可再生能源转型对苏格兰未来技能有何影响，以及如何提高技能、重新培训和吸引新进入者实现公正转型？它的具体目标是： 了解苏格兰与国际和英国能源 WRL 文献相关的背景。确定苏格兰能源部门为这些劳动力市场转型做好了多少准备。确定这些部门在进行这些转型时面临哪些障碍。确定如何重新调整对教育、培训和 WRL 的投资以支持这些转变。确定技能基础因这些转变而发生了怎样的变化，以及未来可能发生怎样的变化。了解这些变革对教育、培训和技能交付的影响。调查平等、多样性和包容性障碍和机会，并制定有针对性的建议，特别是在这一领域进行改进。这个共同创建的博士学位将采用混合方法，将初级和二级研究以及定量和定性方法相结合。方法包括基于案头的二手数据分析、基本空间绘图和半结构化访谈。
