Education for the future energy workers: registration for the online course “Energy Worker” is open
The course was created to help Ukrainians get basic knowledge about the energy industry, understand grid operating principles and determine if they are interested in continuing further development in this area. The study is free for the first 1,000 participants; it is fully online and available to all interested individuals aged 18 and over regardless of the place of residence or previous experience.
“The energy industry is developing rapidly today — we upgrade the grids, introduce digital technologies, create new opportunities for young specialists. We want Ukrainians to see the energy industry as not only stable but also uprising industry with the future. The course “Energy Worker” will help make the first step to the profession, which provides not only a job, but an important mission as well — to provide people with electricity,” — noted Vitalii Shaida, CEO at DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids.
The course program covers topics from the basics of electric engineering to practical cases of working with the grids, combining theory, interactive videos, tests and real examples. Thus, course students will not only gain knowledge but will also understand how to use it in their practical work.
Relevance of the project is also confirmed by the shortage of human resource in the industry: 97% of the employers in the energy sector indicate shortage of skilled specialists. At the same time, only 16% of the youth are now considering the possibility of working in the energy industry.
Launching the online course “Energy Worker” is a continuation of the systematic work related to development of the human capital in the energy industry, which is supported by DTEK. Participants that will show interest and willingness to work in the industry will get an opportunity to undergo internship in the Ukrainian power companies, DTEK Group in particular.
