Green energy is arguably one of the fastest growing sectors on the planet, with a recent report stating that in excess of £4trillion ($7trillion) of new capital is to be invested in the renewable energy market between 2011 and 2030.

The extent of success for renewables’ providers, however, is ultimately dependent upon the industry’s ability to ensure the right talent is in place to capitalise on developments taking place around the world. The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) claims that in the UK, achievement of the 2020 renewables target will require £100bn of investment, supporting around 500,000 jobs across the sector.

This is reflected by the European commission, which reports that renewables will account for three million jobs across the EU by 2020.
