Abstract

This article is devoted to analyzing the importance of lifelong learning for energy engineers. The problem of the insufficient number of qualified specialists in the field of energy engineering is considered, as well as the fact that the educational system cannot always meet the needs of the labour market. The paper examines opportunities for improving the education system to provide skilled workers for the energy industry, including lifelong learning. A study of energy professionals found that lifelong learners scored higher in various aspects of professional performance, such as work efficiency, creativity and innovation. The article also carries out a comparative analysis of the average annual income of energy specialists depending on the level of education. The results showed that professionals with a higher education have a significantly higher average income compared to those with only a secondary education. The influence of education on the career development of specialists and their income has been studied. In the work, a survey was conducted among specialists with higher education and specialists with secondary education who work in the field of energy. The results of the study showed that specialists with higher education have a higher average annual income and a wider range of knowledge, which is important for their career development. In addition, it was established that lifelong learning has a significant impact on improving the qualifications of specialists in the field of energy and their competitiveness in the labour market. The results of this study can be useful for managers of companies in the energy sector who plan to develop their personnel and increase the competitiveness of their company.
