Mandated by the European Commission as one of their first Net-Zero Academies, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is pleased to launch the European Solar Academy in cooperation with EIT InnoEnergy to skill workers across the entire solar photovoltaic value chain.
The European Solar Academy will be run by the EIT InnoEnergy Skills Institute, which will develop tailored training services to reskill and upskill 65 000 workers across the entire European solar photovoltaic (PV) value chain within its first two years.
As the European Union pursues 2030 targets to install almost 600 GW of solar photovoltaic panels and supply 40% of EU demand for net-zero technologies, with products made in Europe, a growing number of skilled workers is urgently needed.
