The renewable energy transition is creating a green job boom. It is expected to generate more than 10 million new jobs globally by 2030.
New sources of energy don’t just require new equipment and innovative technologies. They also require people to operate them. In order to properly utilize the new sources of energy, the largest expected job gains are in electrical efficiency, power generation, and the automotive sector.
In this webinar we would like to shed a light on the chances and the challenges that await potential employers as well as potential employees in the renewable energy sector in Brazil.
