A new report says a “seismic cultural shift” is under way, posing a threat to oil and gas companies in attracting and keeping skilled workers.<\/p>\n

An EY poll of 1,200 Americans indicates the industries have somewhat of an image problem and that is shaping the view of young folks in relation to career considerations.<\/p>\n

According to the poll results, just 26% of Generation Z respondents (born after 1995) find oil and gas careers appealing.\u00a0 With regard to millenials (born 1977-1994), only 45% without a set career path found jobs in the industry to be attractive.<\/p>\n

Among women,\u00a0 only 24% between 16 and 35 are interested in jobs in the sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cOil and gas companies need smart, capable employees now and for as long as the industry exists,\u201d said<\/a> Deborah Byers, US Energy Leader, Ernst & Young LLP. \u201cBut younger generations\u2019 perceptions of oil and gas are leading them elsewhere.”<\/p>\n

One of the major issues turning people off the industries is awareness of the environmental impact oil and gas operations have.<\/p>\n

“Teens, in particular, believe strongly that oil companies do not care about what\u2019s best for their generation, even though teens say they have the most significant stake in long-term environmental outcomes due to their age,” says the report.<\/p>\n

It will come as no surprise then that 66% of the teens surveyed said they found a job working in green energy appealing.<\/p>\n

An earlier poll by EY, the results of which were released in May<\/a>, shows a majority (just) of millennials sees the industry as good for society, but most Gen Z respondents view it as negative. 48% of teens cited environmental concerns when justifying their negative perception of the industry. 56% of teens 16-18 and 41% of adults 19+ said the oil and gas industries’ contribution to society was not worth the impact to the environment.<\/p>\n

The oil and gas sectors are certainly living in interesting and challenging times – and this potential skills shortage is another good reason for the majors to consider getting more skin in the renewable energy game.<\/p>\n

As well as helping to win hearts and minds, as we mentioned recently the oil and gas majors have been warned the momentum of renewables is unstoppable<\/a> and there’s a very strong case for them to grab wind and solar power market share while they can – their longer-term survival may depend on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
