The Energy Transition is upon us and the world of work is rapidly changing where Digital Technology disrupts business models and changes the way work is done. While digital immigrants need to keep up with digital natives, hierarchies disappear, and millennials and Gen Z generations feel entitled to rapid career growth in a compelling workplace. Against this backdrop, how do companies and academia adapt their learning & development approaches to respond to this changing landscape and to develop the future Energy Professionals the world requires?

Keynote panel members from academia and the energy industry share their views and vision to stimulate an interactive discussion to arrive at a holistic perspective on the future Energy professionals we are likely to need.
