Federation
University’s Asia Pacific Renewable Energy Training Centre (APRETC) will
provide cutting edge training for Victoria’s booming renewable energy sector.
We took a major step forward on APRETC last month, turning the first sod on the
construction of Australia’s first wind turbine training tower at our Mt Helen campus.
The
centre is part of our ongoing engagement with industry to drive the economic
prosperity of our university regions in Western and Eastern Victoria. Please
enjoy this video of our industry partners – Vestas, ACCIONA, GPG and Tilt
Renewables – and Victorian Government Ministers sharing their thoughts on how
important this purpose built training centre will be to meet the demand for
local skilled workers in the renewable energy sector.
