THE delayed Energy Skills Passport pilot, aimed at supporting oil and gas workers move into new low-carbon jobs, finally launched today.

The pilot, led by trade associations Renewable UK and Offshore Energies UK and backed by Westminster and Scottish governments, was originally due to begin by the first quarter of 2023, but it has been beset by hold-ups. 

More than £5 million has been ploughed into the project from the Scottish government’s Just Transition Fund.
