The re-elected Miles Labor Government in Australia has announced plans to construct a new $15 million skills and training facility in Rockhampton to support the region's clean energy workforce. The CQ Renewable Energy Training Facility will offer specialized training courses in wind, solar, hydrogen, and storage projects, providing opportunities for electrical tradespeople, apprentices, and high school students. The facility, owned and operated by Electro Group Training, aims to equip workers with the necessary skills to secure jobs on large renewable energy projects. The investment, funded by fairer coal royalties, is part of Labor's commitment to the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan and the Clean Energy Workforce Roadmap. Central Queensland's energy industry will benefit from the facility by upskilling local workers, reducing the need for travel, and creating job opportunities in the renewable energy sector. The project emphasizes the importance of public ownership of energy assets and contrasts the Labor and LNP's approaches to jobs and training. Ministerial statements express optimism about the facility's potential to empower Central Queensland's workforce and ensure a brighter future for the region's clean energy industry.
