The Scottish Government is looking forward to seeing the Energy Skills Passport develop further as soon as possible, providing more options and pathways for workers to transition between sectors.

The Energy Skills Passport is an industry-led project, with Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) and RenewableUK (RUK) as the lead bodies. Decisions on the timings for “phase 2” of the initiative is, therefore, a matter for those bodies and the associated Steering Group, which also includes representation from employers, training bodies and trade unions. Success during “phase 2” of the Passport will require it to be fully supported from a range of bodies, including UK Government.

The Scottish Government continues to support an industry-led approach to the development of the Passport which promotes collaborative working across energy sectors and also between trade bodies, employers, training bodies and trade unions.

The Passport is one tool in a wider landscape of support for Scotland’s oil and gas workers – which all support the shared outcome of a just transition for this valued and highly skilled workforce. For example, the Passport is complemented by the Oil and Gas Transition Training Fund (launched in July 2025 as a joint initiative from Scottish and UK Governments) which offers tailored careers advice and funded training for eligible workers looking to build the skills needed for work in Scotland’s sustainable energy sectors.

The Passport is an industry led project, and the Scottish Government does not hold detailed information on operational and reporting matters. For such queries, we recommend directly contacting the lead industry bodies - Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) and RenewableUK (RUK).
