The Employment Minister's backing a push to grow the energy sector's workforce. 

A report by two industry groups —Energy Resources Aotearoa and the Electricity Engineers’ Association— has found the current workforce is a constraint on growth. 

They're recommending a new energy workforce governing body and a more bipartisan approach on energy so workers have job security. 

Minister Louise Upston told Mike Hosking attracting more people into the sector is a key focus. 

She says many school students don't understand how essential energy is for our future and keeping everything running.
