Providers under the microscope: Energy sector invests in internal training to stay ahead of industry challenges

Plenty Training < 1 mins read

Gold Coast, Australia – As the energy sector faces increased regulatory scrutiny, technological disruption, and workforce shortages, providers are turning to internal training solutions to strengthen their operations and mitigate risk. 

Plenty Training, a leading provider of training and assessment qualifications, has seen a surge in energy companies investing in the development of internal trainers to maintain compliance, efficiency, and workforce readiness.

“Energy providers understand that scrutiny is only increasing, and the cost of non-compliance is high,” said Levi Luke, representative at Plenty Training. 

“Internal trainers are playing a critical role in ensuring companies can scale their workforce, maintain operational standards, and respond to regulatory changes before they become a crisis. The companies we work with know that prevention is always more effective than damage control," Mr Luke said.

With global electricity consumption projected to rise nearly 4% annually through 2027 (International Energy Agency, Electricity 2025 report), the demand for skilled workers is outpacing supply. 

The sector’s shift towards renewable energy, AI-driven grid management, and evolving compliance requirements means energy providers must proactively upskill their workforce to remain competitive.

"By equipping employees with the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, energy providers can streamline workforce development, reduce reliance on external training providers, and ensure training aligns with sector-specific challenges. 

"Internal trainers provide companies with the agility to upskill staff in real time, embed best practices, and maintain a culture of continuous improvement," Mr Luke said.

Plenty Training offers structured group and individual training solutions designed to integrate seamlessly into operational workflows, allowing energy providers to future-proof their workforce while maintaining business continuity.
