The world is rapidly moving to a renewable energy future. This is a pivotal point for many economies. Tasmania’s hydro-electric scheme makes its a forerunner, which provides an opportunity for the State. Green hydrogen, pumped hydro and wind power will form the future mix of energy output in Tasmania and create further market opportunity. Projected job gains and skill requirements will necessitate strong engagement with the education sectors and community to generate enthusiasm for, and awareness of the many opportunities emerging.
Recognising this and taking positive impact is something the Tasmanian Government can be proud of, and one in which our partners, Artibus Innovation has done us proud. They received funding to support the Tasmanian Government to develop a course to improve entry pathways to roles in renewable energy.
The course will help establish a pathway and certification for new entrants to participate in the renewables industry. The development of the course required extensive consultation, locally and nationally and provides a start in a career across five industries that underpin the renewables industry.
Artibus Innovation was funded by the Tasmanian Government to develop a hydrogen ready training course that will build a pipeline of new industry entrants. Once the course was developed and approved by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), the State Government asked SDG Align to manage the course on its behalf.

Are there any costs associated with the course?
There are no costs associated with the course – we simply require RTOs to enter into the attached licence agreement with us to ensure the material is used for the right purpose and that you provide us with feedback to enable us to maintain the course in line with ASQA requirements.
Are there any learning materials available?
All the units of competency (except one) are sourced from multiple existing training packages – as such we hope/ envisage that materials exist for most of these.
Who’s around to help us deliver this course?
A large number of eastern seaboard TAFEs have been working with HyCell (Deakin University) on material to support the ‘Prepare to Work’ unit – if you would like us to connect you with this network, we would be happy to do so.
We have also been liaising with Bestech – a manufacturer/supplier of teaching resources for the hydrogen and bio fuel industry – similarly, if you would like a connection, we can assist.
