Powering Australia is delighted to advise that our CEO Shannon has been appointed to the Industry Advisory Board of the newly formed Clean Energy Skills National Centre of Excellence (CESNCE).

Shannon joins representatives drawn from First Nations, industry, unions, government TAFE and University sectors to offer advice to Government about the clean energy workforce.

The CESNCE is jointly funded by the State and Federal Governments for $70 million over a period of five years and is tasked with building the capability of TAFE and other training institutions to build the workforce that will be needed as part of the clean energy transition.
