Fachkräftemangel in der Energiewende | Berthold Breid, RENAC | The smarter E Podcast #142
Der Fachkräftemangel könnte die Energiewende in Deutschland ausbremsen. Für den Ausbau der Solar- und Windenergie fehlen aktuell rund 216.000 Fachkräfte – dies hat laut der Funke Mediengruppe eine Studie des Kompetenzzentrums Fachkräftesicherung (Kofa) am Institut für deutsche Wirtschaft ergeben. Demnach mangele es vor allem an Elektrikern, Klimatechnikerinnen und Informatikern.
- Welche Berufsgruppen sind besonders stark betroffen?

- Und was ist eigentlich mit der Finanzierung der Ausbildung?
Ein Interview von Smarter E mit Berthold Breid, CEO der Renewables Academy (RENAC) AG in Berlin.
