We'll train Victorians for jobs in renewable energy.

Bringing back the SEC and building new, renewable energy is about more than just electricity.

It's about opportunity.

Building and maintaining the renewable energy projects we need to power our state is going to create 59,000 jobs.

And Labor has a plan to train Victorians for these jobs, and open opportunities in secure, well-paying jobs - working for people, not profits.

We'll create at least 6,000 apprenticeships and traineeships as part of our plan to bring back the SEC.

We will set up an SEC Centre of Training Excellence to coordinate and accredit course for apprentices - working across TAFEs, training organisations, workers and industry.

And to ensure there is a pipeline of jobs for Victorians we'll ensure that new renewable projects are built with locally made parts, by Victorian workers.

Setting up young Victorians for the future

Setting up kids to get jobs in renewable energy shouldn't wait until after school.

We'll add clean energy as a VCE Vocational Major option, and schools will offer TAFE courses in the classroom to give kids a headstart.

And we'll have workers from the SEC visit government schools to talk to kids about jobs in renewable energy - and actually recruit them too.

These changes in TAFE and our schools will help train the 59,000 worker we need to build our renewable future.

We're empowering Victorians to power our state.

That's how we bring back government-owned energy.
