Australian Renewables Academy to deliver New Energy Apprenticeships Mentoring

Australian Renewables Academy (ARA) is thrilled to announce it has been awarded a government funding contract by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations. This funding is set to establish and deliver the innovative New Energy Apprenticeships Mentoring Program from 15 April 2024.

The New Energy Apprenticeships Mentoring Program is designed to support the clean energy sector. This Australian Government initiative aims to maximise retention and completion rates of Australian apprenticeships in Clean Energy Occupations by connecting apprentices to skilled workers and businesses in the clean energy industry.

"We are excited to launch the New Energy Apprenticeships Mentoring Program. It will create substantial opportunities for apprentices and the clean energy sector in Australia," said Bernadette O’Connor, CEO of Australian Renewables Academy. "This program aligns perfectly with our mission to transform the Australian workforce for the new energy revolution."

The government funding will enable a range of services under the Program, including peer support, networking events, and other clean-energy-industry-based activities. This strategic investment highlights the government's commitment to building a strong workforce for the growing Clean Energy sector.

The Australian Renewables Academy will work closely with the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations to deliver the New Energy Apprenticeships Mentoring Program to a consistently high professional standard. "We will ensure New Energy apprentices develop useful industry connections and build career pathways within the New Energy sector," Bernadette O’Connor added.
