Iberdrola has unveiled a global platform designed to mentor, educate, and connect people with green jobs. The electricity company positions this new tool as a cornerstone resource for anyone aiming to work in renewable energy and sustainable sectors. It will offer training opportunities, highlight vacancies from partner companies and institutions, and serve as a central hub for talent seeking careers in the green economy.
Named Global Green Employment (GGE), the initiative seeks to unlock access to the talent needed by firms and educational bodies active in sustainability and energy transition. The platform is designed to bridge gaps between job seekers, training providers, and employers, ensuring a smoother path from education to employment in a market that is increasingly hiring for green capabilities.
Iberdrola kicked off the project with a formal unveiling at its Madrid headquarters, signaling its commitment to building a digital meeting place where future-focused workers can discover opportunities and where agencies delivering training and job placements can collaborate with businesses and institutions aligned with green goals.
In its initial phase, GGE will concentrate the listings and learning options within the Spanish market, a move intended to spark broader international reach over time. The company’s leadership stressed that Spain is the launchpad, with plans to scale globally. “Today GGE is born in Spain, but tomorrow we begin the path to make it global. This project should stay active and grow,” stated Mario Ruiz Tagle, CEO of Iberdrola Spain.
Partners fueling the platform
From the start, Iberdrola commits to curating high-quality content on the platform and delivering a diverse catalog of international job and education opportunities for social actors and the broader public.
Estrella Martín Segurado, Talent Director for Global Iberdrola, emphasized the platform’s broader role. “We aim to be a genuine facilitator, not merely a listing service from Iberdrola, but a real link between social mediators and citizens and a network of other companies and educational institutions eager to participate,” she explained.
With Europe facing notable unemployment figures, the energy transition can translate into tangible chances for workers, especially youth and those displaced by automation. The initiative notes that by the start of the decade, a green employment portfolio could cover more than five million roles, underscoring the scale of opportunity within the climate action agenda.
The GGE platform is built to provide steady, reliable access to roles and programs that enable people to reskill, upskill, and align their careers with sustainability goals. By aggregating opportunities from both private and public sectors, it aims to reduce friction in the job-search journey and to help regional economies transition toward greener, more resilient growth paths. The content will be updated regularly to reflect evolving industry needs, certification standards, and regional labor market trends, ensuring users can plan long-term career moves with confidence.
Beyond job postings, the platform will include guidance on credible training pathways, credentials that employers value, and real-world case studies from projects advancing energy efficiency, grid modernization, and clean energy deployment. This holistic approach is designed to empower job seekers to identify in-demand skills, pursue targeted education, and connect with employers who recognize the value of green expertise.
In addition to Spain, Iberdrola envisions a networked ecosystem where national programs, universities, vocational schools, and research centers join the GGE portal to synchronize curricula with market demand. The goal is to streamline the flow of talent into sectors such as renewable generation, energy storage, smart grid technology, sustainable transportation, and environmental governance, while supporting lifelong learning for the existing workforce as technologies evolve.
The initiative also highlights the social dimension of the energy transition. By expanding access to training and employment opportunities, GGE seeks to reduce regional disparities and promote inclusive growth. The platform is designed to be adaptable to different regional contexts, with policies and resources that reflect local labor market realities and training capacities while maintaining alignment with global green economy standards.
For communities and individuals, GGE represents more than a job portal. It serves as a strategic resource for career planning in a rapidly changing energy landscape, offering pathways to stable, meaningful work in a sector that seeks to balance reliability with sustainability. As the program evolves, Iberdrola expects the platform to coordinate broader initiatives, including partnerships with public agencies, industry groups, and educational institutions, to maximize job placement and training outcomes and to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy.
