A new plan has been unveiled to create a future workforce of clean hydrocarbons

A new plan has been unveiled to create a future workforce of clean hydrocarbons: In Canada, a new sector engagement plan to develop a future clean hydrocarbon workforce has been unveiled.

The Clean Resource Innovation Network (CRIN) will collaborate with five energy-focused young professional (YP) associations to help tens of thousands of YP members across the country advance their skills, network, and career opportunities.

Young Pipeliners Association of Canada (YPAC), Young Women in Energy (YWE), Young Professionals in Energy Calgary Chapter (YPE), World Petroleum Council Canada Future Leaders (WPC-FL), and Society of Petroleum Engineers Young Professionals are the five YP organizations (SPE-YP).

The CRIN YP Engagement Plan will connect emerging leaders from across Canada with technological advances in clean hydrocarbons, while also laying the groundwork for greater connectivity now and in the future.

The plan also includes up to 30 scholarships for the Avatar Ignite Programme 2022, which is being run in collaboration with the University of Calgary and is open to any emerging professional interested in clean hydrocarbon innovation.

Energy YPs in Canada will be able to work directly on breakthrough technologies aimed at improving environmental performance, such as lowering greenhouse gas emissions, under the plan.

“Decarbonising the entire energy system to combat climate change is the greatest challenge of our generation and our industry. We are in a race against time and innovation and collaboration hold the keys to our sustainable future.” Said YPAC CEO Ian Sug.

“YPAC is excited to see so many young industry professionals, with their fresh perspectives and new ideas, joining forces to take on this challenge.”
