• Managing complexity at the intersection of humans, technology and systems.
• Shared risks across safety-critical industries highlight the need for alignment in how competence and safety are defined and assured.
• Lessons learned from sectors such as LNG, mining, downstream operations and offshore wind demonstrate how transferable competencies can strengthen workforce resilience.
• Industry case studies from sectors such as LNG, downstream operations, mining, offshore wind and emerging industries will demonstrate how shared frameworks are applied in real operational environments.

• Global standards, competency frameworks and quality assurance systems provide the foundation for enabling workforce mobility across sectors and geographies.
• The role of training providers and industry partners will also be explored in ensuring these frameworks can be delivered effectively on a global scale.

• Technology, including simulation and data-driven training approaches, can strengthen competency assurance and help address global skills gaps.
• Behavioural safety and human performance will be explored, recognising that leadership, culture and decision-making play a critical role in preventing incidents and embedding safe behaviours.
• Industry leaders will discuss implementation challenges and opportunities for collective solutions.

• Equipping a skilled, safety-focused workforce for the energy transition by aligning competencies, global standards & training across emerging low-carbon sectors.

• Closing competence gaps through standardised training, stronger assurance and improved verification practices.

• A showcase of the My Energy Future LIVE teams and their ideas for the future of energy and safety-critical industries.
• The My Energy Future STEM Awards ceremony, celebrating innovation, creativity and the achievements of young people engaging with STEM around the world.
• An opportunity for a My Energy Future Champion to share their journey and inspire the next generation of talent entering safety-critical industries.

Focused session on delivering cross-sector competencies and collaboration opportunities, including:

• As OPITO expands its expertise across safety-critical sectors, the role of the global training centre network becomes increasingly important.
• This session will explore how training providers can support cross-sector workforce development and deliver training aligned with emerging industry needs.
• Discussions will address how existing training centres can evolve alongside OPITO’s diversification strategy and how collaboration can unlock new opportunities across sectors.
• Case studies, including examples from (for example) the Australian mining training ecosystem, will explore whether new networks are required or if existing centres can adapt to support additional sectors.
