Renewable Energy Skills Training
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Carnegie College, Dunfermline, for being at the forefront of green energy skills development through its provision of renewable energy skills training and the wind energy industry’s first pilot wind turbine technician apprenticeship programme; considers that the college plays an important role in providing vocational education in the area and that the engineering and energy sector represents a huge opportunity for Fife and Scotland; believes that this far-sighted project will put the college at the centre of developing the high-quality training needed to support renewable energy industries, ensuring that Scotland meets its considerable green energy potential and bringing jobs and long-term sustainable growth; believes that the renewables industry has the potential to create thousands of new jobs for Fife and Central Scotland, and considers that Fife can become a major contributor to the development of the renewable energy capacity of the east of Scotland.
