TAFE Gippsland and Federation University set up the GRSN to foster connection and collaboration between government, educators and employers in sectors essential to the clean economy.
About the initiative
Driving clean economy progress requires dedicated communication lines and communication between all related parties involved.
The Gippsland Regional Skills Network (GRSN) is set up by TAFE Gippsland and Federation University, aiming to foster stronger connections between education, employers, community and government in Gippsland.
Five specific industry advisory groups (energy, health, agriculture-food-fibre, government and manufacturing), each with ~20 industry representatives, support the GRSN.
The Energy Industry Advisory Group’s success story is especially relevant to the clean economy. It is well supported by stakeholders (e.g. Latrobe Valley Authority), and existing and emerging energy companies (e.g. AGL, Star of the South), but more importantly it works from a spirit of collaboration to develop skills and qualifications needed for the clean energy transition.
Outcomes
The energy group drove the Gippsland Energy Skills Mapping Report and welcomed many offshore wind developers in 2023.
All Industry Advisory Groups sit together in biannual meetings per industry at the Morwell Innovation Centre in the Latrobe Valley since July 2021.
The networking partnership will focus on the following:
- continuing the cooperative approach to education and employment on Energy and the Clean Energy Transition.
