Closing the Workforce Gap is Critical to Reaching Emissions Reduction Targets.
To reach our emissions reduction targets, the smart energy industry is key. But right now, we don’t have enough workers to deliver at the pace and scale required.
Women’s participation in our industry needs to lift from 39% to at least 50% by 2030.
To achieve this, the Smart Energy Council has developed a Gender Action Plan for the entire smart energy industry.
Drive a cultural shift to embed a gender lens in business decision-making; to deliver a more inclusive and respectful workforce that provides opportunities, skills/training and favourable working conditions for women.
Shape an industry that is inclusive and fit for purpose, so it can attract and retain women (600,000 jobs forecast to deliver 82% renewables by 2030) and lead us towards a safer climate.
Achieve quality employment outcomes and economic empowerment of women in new jobs that are meaningful and local.
Empower businesses to promote their leadership role in gender diversity and inclusion.
Guide the development of content, co-design solutions, encourage and support others taking action, and share knowledge on best practice.
