On the right path: early years talent development
We aim to foster a culture of continuous learning, equipping our people with the skills, knowledge, and capabilities to thrive in their careers at all stages.
We nurture early years talent through a range of training, including our new 24-month Graduate Training Programme. The programme blends structured training, hands-on experience and mentorship opportunities to give graduates the skills and knowledge they need to kickstart their careers in renewable energy.
Talent and skills development
We support our employees to develop the skills and expertise to perform to their highest potential. We encourage internal progression, giving responsibility, empowerment and trust to encourage people to take on new challenges. We offer learning and development opportunities including our Graduate , Management and Leadership Development programmes, in addition to other training courses tailored to the needs of the individual.
Our aim is to develop our people’s competencies and business skills so that all employees can act as ambassadors for OnPath Energy and ensure our vision is communicated with enthusiasm and commitment.
In addition to functional training, we partner with external experts to help our people develop or enhance other useful competences, e.g. a communications coach to help employees learn the art of effective communication as well as leadership coaches to help develop a range of leadership skills. These training programmes help us to create high-performing teams which are beneficial to our business and also highly appreciated by our employees.
A robust and regular performance management process ensures we recognise and reward performance whilst capturing opportunities for further development and career progression through training, mentoring and coaching.

Professionalising our training suite
We believe in investing in our people for the long term, developing and empowering our internal talent for an inspired team, and building a pipeline of skilled professionals to support our long term growth.
Acting on the OnPath people promise, we began working with external training partners this year, developing our first leadership development programme and expanding our early years and graduate training.
A diverse, supportive and inclusive employer
We want our people to feel they are part of a team where everyone is valued. We treat everyone equitably, fairly and with respect. We aim to provide equal opportunities for all employees and our strong values of teamwork and inclusiveness shine through in our tight-knit community at OnPath.
We believe in supporting each other and finding, nurturing and celebrating the unique talent that each of us brings. We are committed to giving everyone the chance to contribute, learn, grow, and develop in a harmonious working environment.
Employee diversity is a strength for businesses, and we have set diversity as one of our key commitments for the future.
Prioritising health, safety and wellbeing
We aim to create a working environment where our people’s health, safety and wellbeing are our top priority.
We have a robust Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy that details our commitment to the wellbeing of everyone involved with our business activities. Health, safety and wellbeing is embedded in the training of our people, the robustness of our controls, our communications across our activities and within our business culture.
As a safety-first business, measuring injury rates across our business is vital for us in determining the effectiveness of our health and safety management approach. We are proud that in 2024, we achieved 100% of our planned SWOs, carried out by OnPath’s wind farm managers as part of their individual KPI’s.
We believe that mental wellbeing is equally as important as physical wellbeing. We have four Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAs) who are trained to support employees across OnPath Energy. They play a crucial role in providing guidance and support to our team, and in highlighting the importance of good mental health through internal events and campaigns. Prevention is at the heart of our mental wellbeing approach; both in identifying when someone is struggling early on, and in giving employees the tools, such as workshops on developing coping strategies, to stay mentally healthy.
