Beyond Engineering: Where Are the Jobs in Africa’s Energy Transition?

Africa’s energy transition needs more than engineers. It needs technicians, researchers, entrepreneurs, commercial talent and a workforce ready to turn energy access into economic opportunity.

In this episode of Let’s Talk Energy, Efua Nyamekye Appiah, Energy and Just Transition Lead at GAYO, explores where young Africans can build careers across the renewable energy value chain, from operations and maintenance to sales, research and the productive use of energy.

Recorded at the West African Energy Cooperation Summit (WAECS) at YES! On the Road Ghana, in partnership with The Electricity Hub, the conversation also asks whether education, national service and industry are doing enough to prepare young people for the opportunities ahead.
