Energy

Attaining operational excellence and optimized performance.

Face Today’s Unprecedented
Industry Challenges with Confidence

In most parts of the globe, the power generation mix of coal-fired facilities, combined cycle plants, nuclear facilities, and renewable energy sources is changing rapidly. Skills gaps, supply chain volatility, asset performance demands, technological transformation, and environmental, health, and safety (EHS) concerns all motivate companies to find smarter ways to maximize their return on investment (ROI) while meeting production and compliance goals.

The pursuit of operational excellence—through a culture of adaptability, streamlined processes, high performance, and organizational effectiveness—demands optimized technologies and technical training. Across the energy spectrum, companies are also challenged by a shortage of leaders and skilled workers due to increased demand, a strained talent pipeline, and an experienced workforce nearing retirement. Organizations need targeted, cost-effective solutions to achieve their business objectives.

Improving Sales Training Digitally at Propane Education & Research Council

In recent years, more and more participants of the classroom-based Marketer Technology and Sales Training (MTST) program have requested digital learning to supplement their experience and to expand learning beyond the classroom.

Optimizing the Workforce to Support Solar Power: Plant Launch Success

Solar power has become one of the world’s fastest growing energy industries over the last decade. In fact, twothirds of the entire world’s solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity was installed after 2011, meaning that the industry may just be beginning to reach its potential. Commercial solar plants did not begin to appear until the mid-2000s, but they quickly became an emergent form of power generation due to solar energy’s positive environmental impact and low operating costs. As the energy landscape changes, it takes a versatile company like GP Strategies to alter its training strategies to account for evolving industries and new technologies.
