Funded Training Options Through ASET
FUNDING THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR CAREER
UK and Scottish Government-backed funding is creating new opportunities for people to build on the skills, knowledge and industry experience they already have and apply them across Scotland’s growing and emerging sectors.
As the energy and industrial landscape continues to evolve, there is increasing demand for experienced people with strong technical backgrounds. Many of the skills developed across oil and gas, energy and other technical industries can be transferred into areas such as renewables, utilities, clean energy and the wider transition to a low-carbon economy.
Funded training can help you take that experience further. Whether you’re looking to develop additional technical skills, gain recognised qualifications or explore a new direction for your career, a range of funding programmes are available to help remove the financial barrier to training and support your next step.

CROSS SKILLS PROGRAMME THE CATALYST FOR TRANSITION INTO RENEWABLES
In May 2025, Niall Gibb completed the Wind Turbine Cross Skill Pilot Programme.
Niall believes the skills developed with oil and gas are vital to the success of offshore wind.
'I've been within the oil industry for 12 years. My motivation for joining the programme was to build on my skillset and formally align my oil and gas experience with renewables to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable energy sector' he said.
I realised I already have a lot of the discipline, the safety focus and resilience that the wind industry needs for working in harsh environments in a technical capacity. The skills are transferable and I've been able to refine them through the structured learning that was provided by the programme'
INDUSTRY COLLABORATION
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and Scottish Government have committed funding for workers looking to transition their careers into clean and sustainable energy.
Developed through collaboration between government, industry and skills organisations, the programme supports the wider ambition to create clear pathways into clean energy careers while helping the wind sector access the experienced technical workforce it needs to grow.
The programme has also been recognised within the UK Government’s Clean Energy Jobs Plan and Scotland’s Offshore Wind Skills Priorities and Action Plan, demonstrating its role in supporting the transition of skills into the offshore wind industry.
