Professional qualification for energy and resource efficiency

Young Energy Europe enables young professionals in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia to extend their education in the fields of energy and resource efficiency. The future Energy Scouts will learn to analyse and reveal saving potentials for energy and resources in their companies. The practical training phase of the qualification offers participants the opportunity to implement their new skills in their company. Young Energy Europe is supported within the framework of the European Climate Initiative (EUKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN).
