TAFEs Supporting the Renewable Energy Industry
Australia’s transition to a low-carbon, sustainable economy necessitates the adoption of new and rapidly emerging clean technologies. TAFEs are playing an important part in supporting the development of a future workforce in the renewable energy sector.
All Australian states and territories have been steadily progressing their own policies and taking significant actions to reduce emissions, support renewable energy development, and increase energy efficiency. In doing so governments, industries and communities have recognised the potential for new jobs and economic development, especially in regional areas, that can be achieved through a range of renewable energy pathways and initiatives.
These, in turn, require a highly skilled workforce capable of designing, installing, monitoring and maintaining systems, products and processes significantly different from those in common use; so different, that many have yet to be developed.

Focus on renewables – Canberra Institute of Technology
Developing a skilled workforce for the renewable energy sector plays a very important role for the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) as the sector continues to evolve.

TAFE, university and industry collaboration in hydrogen technology – SW TAFE Institute, Victoria

Training in solar energy systems – TAFE SA
Up-to-date solar energy batteries have been donated to TAFE SA by industry and government partners to bolster training in solar energy systems.

Career journey of a wind turbine technician – National Skills Commission
The way we work is changing, and as the way we work changes, skill requirements also evolve.

RACV Solar and Holmesglen Institute partner to deliver renewable energy training
RACV Solar has partnered with Holmesglen Institute to deliver one of the country’s most advanced renewable energy training facilities.

Emerging occupations – National Skills Commission
The National Skills Commission (NSC) has developed a data-driven approach to identify emerging occupations within Australia. By identifying emerging skills and looking at how these skills change existing jobs, the NSC can identify emerging or new jobs in the labour market, and can help build the skilled, resilient and adaptable workforce needed now, and for years to come.

Huấn luyện an toàn mô phỏng trên bầu trời - Viện Công nghệ Canberra
Một cần trục tháp cao 35 mét mới đã được lắp đặt tại một trong những cơ sở của CIT để đào tạo về an toàn và năng lượng tái tạo. Cần trục tháp mang đến cho sinh viên một môi trường làm việc mô phỏng an toàn, được kiểm soát cao, cho phép họ trải nghiệm những thử thách thể chất khi làm việc và vận hành thiết bị một cách an toàn ở độ cao.
