The Scottish Government has announced further funding for the oil and gas transition training fund, providing an additional 100 workers with support.
An extra £450,000 increase in funding will provide an extra 100 offshore oil and gas workers with support to assist their transition into the sustainable energy sector.
The fund, a joint Scottish Government and UK Government initiative, is in response to demand from oil and gas workers.
Over this financial year, the Scottish Government have said that at least 300 oil and gas workers in Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire will be able to access careers advice and funding for training to move into sustainable energy roles.
First Minister John Swinney announced the fund as he opened Scotland’s largest energy transition skills hub in Aberdeen on Monday.
Energy Secretary Gillian Martin said: “This additional funding to the oil and gas transition training fund will support more offshore workers to take on different roles across the sustainable energy sector.
“The North East has long been a titan in the oil and gas industry and it is only right we support the talented and skilled workforce to move into new roles in the evolving sustainable energy sector.”
