What should I study?
The types of tradespeople and technicians (see Trades or Technicians Careers) that support the clean energy sector come from electrical, mechanical or civil backgrounds. Pre-apprenticeships, apprenticeships and post-trade qualifications are all valued in the sector. These are usually supplemented by safety or competency training specific to the technology, site or industry.
