<p>Clean energy, job ready</p>

Australia needs 40,000 more workers by 2030 to support the transition to clean energy.

Clean energy projects are growing across the country, but projects often have different workforce requirements which makes it difficult for industry to plan and recruit and confusing for students and workers to secure jobs and grow their careers.

For over a year, we have been working with industry in Victoria and Queensland to define the common training requirements for a safe and competent workforce on clean energy projects.

Our new Clean energy, job ready program launches soon, offering employers tools to help plan and manage workforce compliance easily and providing clear pathways for workers and students to build their careers in clean energy.

The Victorian program has been funded by the Victorian Government’s Workforce Training and Innovation Fund and developed in partnership with TAFE Gippsland and Federation University. The Queensland program has been funded by the Queensland Government and developed in partnership with Energy Skills Queensland.

The Clean energy, job ready program is designed to support the growth of a safe, competent and qualified clean energy trade workforce in Australia through three tools.

Training Matrix

The first industry-agreed guide for qualifications, licenses and safety training needed for trade roles on clean energy projects, making workforce planning simpler for employers and training providers.

Skills Passport

The program will promote a free digital Skills Passport that lets workers share verified qualifications with employers and move easily between roles, projects and industries.

Career Pathways

A tool for students, workers and career changers to explore clean energy trade roles and the training needed to get job-ready.

MyPass: the platform for the Clean energy, job ready program

The Clean Energy Council have nominated MyPass as the platform for the Clean energy, job ready program. MyPass is a proven workforce onboarding and compliance platform designed to help employers in high-stakes industries reduce risk, save up to 70% in back-office costs, and create safer work environments.

It was chosen as the platform for this program because it is already established in related industries including oil and gas, mining and resources and construction and engineering and is designed to enable workers transfer easily across projects, employers and industries.
