Ever considered a career in renewable energy?

Renewable energy is destined to become one of the fastest growing sectors over the coming years, with estimates of at least 1 660 000 new jobs being created across Europe over the next ten years. So why not be a part of it?

The transition from fossil fuel power to renewable energy is very important for the health of our environment and to ensure we all have enough energy in the future. Could you help bring this change about in our world?

RES COMPASS can help you find which of the four sectors you may be suited to (see the Career Test) and understand the different career opportunities (see Job Profiles). You can also find lots of other information and games as well as a database of training and university courses across Europe (See Training Database). We hope you have fun learning more about renewable energy and your potential career!
