Electrical apprentices in Tamworth and Gunnedah will receive first-hand experience in energy conservation by making their TAFE campuses more energy efficient, in a project that will aid TAFE New England Institute to reduce its carbon footprint, while improving training for green collar jobs.
TAFE New England Institute Director Paul Callaghan said the project would help the apprentices and students become better skilled to satisfy the demand for electricians with expertise in energy efficiency.
