TAFETalks: Skills development for the clean energy economy

This TAFETalks episode, focused on skills development for the clean energy economy. TDA was joined by Eleanor Newby from Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA), who provided an overview of JSA's clean energy workforce capacity study, which supported Australia's transition to net zero, as well as some early reflections from JSA's interim report to the government. We also heard from three TAFE speakers - all experts in their field - who presented on the vital role that TAFE played in partnership with industry, in skilling the clean energy workforce. Ross Digby from Holmesglen Institute, Bill Mundy from Federation University, and Shawn O'Sullivan from TAFE Queensland discussed the barriers and enablers for TAFEs in terms of skills development to support Australia's ambition of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
