The Commonwealth and Western Australian Governments have announced a joint investment of $70.5 million to establish Australia’s first TAFE Clean Energy Skills National Centre of Excellence in Western Australia. This center will operate across the WA TAFE network and play a vital role in training individuals in clean energy science, engineering, construction, and operations. The goal of the center is to support the net zero transformation and the Future Made in Australia plan. By adopting a hub-and-spoke model, the center will leverage the capabilities of WA TAFEs and training providers to skill up thousands of Western Australians for careers in the clean energy sector. The focus areas of training will include solar, wind, hydrogen, batteries, and grid integration, equipping students with practical skills to drive innovation in clean energy. Collaborations with universities and industry will ensure the development of comprehensive training programs. The initiative also aims to increase apprenticeships in trades crucial to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, with a focus on promoting the participation of underrepresented groups in clean energy jobs. The involvement of industry advisory boards will further enhance the industry's access to training and workforce solutions. This initiative underscores the commitment to building a skilled workforce for the future of clean energy in Australia.
