Your Future Apprenticeship in Energy Starts Now 🚀

Australia needs YOU. By 2030, we’ll be short of more than 42,000 qualified workers in energy trades. That means massive opportunities for young people looking to kick-start a career in clean energy, renewables, gas, refrigeration and air conditioning, and electrical trades.

The Powering Skills Organisation (PSO) says apprentices are the key to meeting Australia’s net zero goals—and right now there’s already a shortage of 22,000 apprentices.

Why This Matters for You
• The clean energy sector is growing fast, with over 300,000 workers already in the trades—up 20% since 2010.
• Governments and industry are investing millions into apprenticeships, training, and fee-free TAFE.
• New programs, like the New Energy Apprenticeship Program, are helping more people than ever step into the sector.

What You’ll Get

✅ Paid, on-the-job training
✅ Skills that are in huge demand
✅ Support for young people, women, First Nations people, and mature-age apprentices
✅ Pathways to stable, future-proof careers that make a real difference for the planet

What’s Being Done

The 2025 Workforce Plan lays out a clear path to help you succeed, including:
• More trainers and better training facilities
• Support for employers to take on more apprentices
• Updated training to match the latest clean energy tech
• National career progression pathways

A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity 🌏

PSO’s CEO, Anthea Middleton, put it best:

“We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to prepare for a fundamentally different future. If we get it right, we can deliver safe, stable, and highly skilled careers while helping the world fight climate change.”
