Young Professionals

The WPC Energy Global Youth Survey 2026 captures the perspectives of more than 1,200 young professionals and students across the globe. It reveals a generation that is optimistic yet pragmatic, calling for a balanced energy transition that delivers affordability, reliability, security and sustainability. Above all, young professionals want credible action from today’s leaders and a meaningful role in shaping the decisions that will define energy’s future.

The Young Professionals Best Practices & Recommendations for National Committees brings together practical examples from across the WPC Energy network to help National Committees attract, develop, empower and retain young talent.  It highlights best practice in mentorship, leadership opportunities, student engagement, international collaboration and recognition, alongside practical recommendations that National Committees can adapt locally.  At its heart is a commitment to giving Young Professionals a meaningful voice, responsibility and opportunities to contribute to shaping the future of the energy industry
