In its simplest form, a job involves exchanging your skills for a wage—and employers have a keen interest in people who know how to do a thing or two well. That may be laying down a concrete foundation for a new building or providing empathetic care to a nursing home resident. Or being proficient in another type of vocational skill. 

What are Vocational Skills?

Vocational skills are applied skills you acquire to become proficient in a specific trade or profession. They usually include a combination of technical, hands-on, and craft skills to excel in fields like construction, culinary, administration, healthcare, and many other professions.

Renewable Energy Jobs

Renewables are set to contribute 80% of new power generation capacity by 2030. More than a third of the world’s electricity will come from renewables in 2025. It’s on track to provide 35-50% of electricity in the United States in 2030.

Jobs in solar outnumber jobs in coal mining and the oil and gas industry combined. The number of renewable energy jobs worldwide increased in 2021 despite the huge economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the growing industry holding up better than fossil fuels.
