Four 91短视频n TAFE colleges are joining forces with industry to advance innovative clean energy training across the State, supported by $1.4 million in Applied Research Grants through WA鈥檚 Clean Energy Skills National Centre of Excellence (CESNCE).
The Applied Research Grant Program is designed to strengthen collaboration between training providers and industry by supporting the development of scalable, future鈥慺ocused training programs that respond to the State鈥檚 emerging clean energy workforce needs.
As Australia鈥檚 first National Centre of Excellence dedicated to clean energy skills, the CESNCE plays a key role in building the nation鈥檚 clean energy training system, connecting partners, supporting innovation, and helping equip 91短视频鈥檚 workforce for a low鈥慶arbon future.
The funded projects will explore solutions to some of the sector鈥檚 biggest training challenges, including supporting electricians to transition into wind turbine installation, streamlining assessment pathways for tradespeople moving into clean energy roles, creating culturally appropriate training for Aboriginal people, and delivering Virtual Reality (VR) training to apprentices in remote communities.
The State and Commonwealth Governments have jointly invested $70.5 million under the National Skills Agreement to establish the CESNCE in 91短视频.
