The 2026 GETI survey is live!
The tenth annual Airswift Global Energy Talent Index (GETI) survey is now open! Career development remains the number one priority for the global energy workforce. In last year’s GETI, it ranked as the most influential factor in job satisfaction and retention. However, as AI reshapes operations and organisational hierarchies evolve, traditional paths to progress are becoming less clear.
Are we building new ways to grow, or taking vital steps away?
As the world's most comprehensive study of energy workforce trends, the GETI 2026 survey investigates how energy companies and professionals are adapting to a rapidly changing world of work. As flatter structures remove old rungs of advancement and automation takes over foundational tasks, workers and employers alike must reconsider what "career growth" really means.
✅ Is switching roles or sectors the new route to growth?
✅ How are businesses supporting development in an AI-driven world?
✅ Can AI accelerate learning, or does it risk replacing it?
✅ Are new models of progression emerging — or disappearing?
Why It Matters
Development isn’t just a perk — it’s a reason to stay
Organisations that fail to support development risk losing their top talent. With new technologies eliminating, enhancing, or reinventing key roles, the challenge is no longer just about training — it’s about redefining growth.
This year’s report will look at:
- How workers perceive their career prospects
- Whether AI is enabling or hindering upskilling
- What forward-thinking employers are doing to retain ambitious talent
Your Voice = Real Impact
This year, your insights won’t just shape the future of the energy workforce — they’ll help prepare the next generation to succeed.
For every completed response to the GETI 2026 survey, Airswift will donate $1 to Junior Achievement USA, a nonprofit dedicated to equipping young people with the knowledge and skills they need to plan for their future careers.
