The Tasmanian Government has announced the creation of the Tasmanian Clean Energy Centre of Excellence in partnership with TasTAFE. The new centre of excellence will be located at TasTAFE Burnie campus and aims to boots training and workforce development for the state’s growing renewable energy sector.
The centre will feature:
- A redeveloped energy trades facility to support renewable energy training
- An electrotechnology trainer strategy to enhance industry participation in VET
- A pilot STEM careers hub and awareness program to encourage STEM career pathways
- Strategies to increase training access, particularly for rural, regional, and diverse cohorts
- A 25-room student accommodation facility to support learners from remote areas
This initiative will ensure Tasmanians have the skills and opportunities to contribute to the state’s clean energy future.
