Summary
The existing
workforce in the power industry is ageing.
As these people leave the sector a lot of job-specific knowhow will be
lost if no concerted effort is made now to alleviate the situation. The Skills Academy is employer-led and this
project will address the needs of the industry as a whole to tackle the looming
skills loss. It will also contribute to
the longevity of the Skills Academy as part of a varied product offering for
its members.
The aim of
this project is to develop and implement a strategy to identify, capture and
retransmit the knowledge of workers in the UK power sector to meet appropriate
skills, competencies and training needs of the future. This will encompass building a Resource Bank
for knowledge on jobs and specific skills related to competency, as well as the
specification of and the construction of a Virtual Academy integrated online
portal for users to access wider industry information, careers planning and
other resources.
This is a
collaborative project with Dr Malcolm Booth as the Lead Academic and working
with Dr Matthew Hall from Aston Business School as the Knowledge Base
Supervisor.
We have
recruited Chee Seng Koh as the KTP Associate and he is based at NSAP’s offices
in Shirley, West Midlands.
