We work to attract and build the renewable energy workforce our energy transition requires.
As a government-owned renewable energy company, SEC is investing in renewable generation, storage and other projects that create hundreds of rewarding jobs and training opportunities.
In line with our public purpose remit, we work to enable Victorians to benefit from the jobs and opportunities the energy transition brings.
Our investments in renewable energy projects are creating hundreds of local jobs and training opportunities, including direct and indirect
employment.
This includes apprenticeships, traineeships and graduate programs, as well as a wide range of trades, specialist and generalist roles. From electricians, construction, engineering, project managers and machine operators, through to community liaison, operations and administration – as our projects scale up, so will the jobs.
We role-model diversity, inclusion and flexible work practices. Our focus is on bringing more women into historically male-dominated roles and setting up programs for under-represented groups.
We’re working with First Peoples to create programs and opportunities that support self determination.
We’re working with government, industry and training providers to support quality, industry-aligned training and develop the pipeline of skilled workers our energy transition needs, while working with students to attract them to renewable energy careers.
Our comprehensive student education program includes practical examples of jobs and career pathways in renewable energy. We host site visits to our projects so students can experience firsthand the renewable energy industry and the jobs it creates, and we deliver hands-on workshops in schools to inspire students in science and technology. We also speak with thousands of students at careers events, raising awareness and interest in renewable energy jobs
SEC’s education program engages students in the energy transition and showcases the breadth of study and career opportunities it brings. Find out more about our free school activities.
