Community Programmes

Connecting People to Clean Energy

Community Programmes connect people, public authorities, and industry leaders to accelerate the clean energy transition. We go beyond technical audiences—building awareness, developing critical skills, and fostering collaboration. By promoting education, increasing STEM appeal for youth, and encouraging public acceptance, we help communities embrace clean energy solutions, ensuring widespread adoption and long-term impact.

Success stories

The energy transition requires a massive workforce. Solar is growing at a tremendous pace, and we need many more people working in our sector — across all areas. A particular focus should be on revitalising technical education. This is where programmes like the European Solar Academy by InnoEnergy Skills Institute play a vital role. It’s not just about training and upskilling the workforce; it’s about shaping the perception that technical careers are indispensable and rewarding.”
