A talent shortage hits green start-ups
A couple of venture-capital firms out off New England have set up an executive-education program about renewable energy. The idea after the course is to teach the participants about how they can make use of renewable energy. Renewable energy is popular at the moment, last year global investment in renewable-energy businesses alone rose by 60%, to $148.4 billion, according to New Energy Finance (NEF), a research firm.
The most participants don’t have any experience in renewable energy, but the fact that the course is going to learn them about saving money using renewable energy while helping the planet makes this course very popular.
But starting with clean-technology isn’t cheap, that’s way the course also contains sessions on project finance and government regulations. Because it’s difficult to keep up with all the new technologies and inventions on green energy they also give an overview of the latest scientific research.
At the moment all over the world there’s a battle for engineers and scientists. It’s hard for firms to found qualified engineers who can help them saving money on the energy issues. A lot of companies use headhunters to find their engineers and/or scientists. But companies also want that they have some international experience.

Renewable energy is a good way to save new energy and to pollute less so it's a good thing that they educate people about that. Like that, all the people will be good with it.
