Powering Progress Together: Scotland's offshore wind skills priorities and action plan

Conclusion

Ensuring we have enough people, with the right skills to deliver Scotland’s offshore wind opportunity cannot be achieved by Scottish Government, the public sector, industry or our local regions acting alone. It demands sustained, delivery-focused collaboration, supported by clear governance and robust evidence. The establishment of an Offshore Wind Skills Programme will provide the mechanism to do just that.

By setting out priority roles, shared objectives and committing to collective early action, we have come together to create a foundation that a future programme can build upon with confidence and a strong basis for shaping future funding and investment decisions.

This joint priorities and action plan is a practical, collective commitment to act now, and a statement of intent that Scotland will build a workforce capable of delivering on its offshore wind ambitions and securing lasting benefits for generations to come.
