Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to promote the transfer of employment and skills between different sectors of the offshore energy industry.

Asked by:
Karl Turner (Independent)

Answer

Many companies that work in offshore energy already do so across a range of sectors. To further support this, Government, working with industry, published a workforce plan for the oil and gas sector and also set up a recruitment portal for displaced oil and gas workers to enable them to access employment opportunities in other sectors.
