Addressing #climatechange is a monumental task that requires us to build the best team, not just as GE Vernova, but as an industry. The availability of talent is already a challenge though, one that will become increasingly pressing in the coming years. And so, it is important for me to spend time with students and young professionals, helping them find inspiration in our cause of electrifying and decarbonizing the world.   Over the past weeks, I was able to join two groups from Universidad Austral, Buenos Aires' Masters in Energy Businesses Management, and from IESE Business School’s full time #MBA. I shared with them how at GE Vernova we integrate our purpose, mission and values in the company strategy. We also discussed some of the challenges that we face as we aim to #decarbonize the world, but also secure #electricity for the 750m that still lack access to it, while we also prepare to meet a 50% increase in electricity demand over the next two decades. As a company whose equipment helps generate one-third of the world’s electricity, we have a responsibility to lead this journey and help solve the energy ‘trilemma’ of affordable, reliable, and sustainable electricity.   Thanks to Massimo Maoret, Marco ARCELLI and Gonzalo P. for opening the doors of their classrooms to me, and for allowing me to have insightful exchanges with the students. I look forward to seeing many of them joining us at GE Vernova in the coming years!   #GEVernovaProud #TheEnergyToChangeTheWorld GE Power

#Hydrogen is a key pillar of the EU’s strategy to achieve its 2050 #decarbonisation goals. The rapid development of the European Hydrogen Value Chain over the coming years is expected to generate approximately 1 million highly skilled #jobs by 2030, and up to 5.4 million by 2050. This growth presents a significant economic and environmental opportunity for #Europe, but it also creates considerable labour market challenges. The European Hydrogen Skills Alliance “Green Skills for Hydrogen” is a four-year project, started in July 2022, bringing together partners from 15 European countries and funded under the EU’s Erasmus+ programme. The primary objective is to design and implement a highly innovative, effective, and sustainable Hydrogen Skills Strategy for Europe that will ensure the skills needs of the rapidly expanding and evolving Hydrogen Value Chain can be met in the short, medium, and long term. It will also generate a blueprint to address the skills need of workers in Declining Sectors and Transition Regions to provide them with upskilling and reskilling opportunities within the #hydrogen sector. #GreenSkills for Hydrogen will establish a long-term #partnership between #Industry and #Education. It will design an innovative and sustainable Hydrogen Skills Strategy. It will develop, test and roll-out of VET curricula and training programmes in line with latest market needs and consistently linked with EU instruments and tools. It will foster continuous skills and #career development that empower technical #professionalism in both green and digital competencies. Finally, it will disseminate and rollout the VET training to maximise European impact.

Human resources will become, and already are, extremely important for the European battery industry. It will be exciting to see how this task is tackled. There should be more commitment to training young people so that they are equipped for the future. Of course, other important issues such as the circular economy to secure the necessary raw materials must not be lost sight of. There is still a lot to do to make and maintain Europe's competitiveness as a battery production location. #energystorage #battery #circulareconomy #sustainability
