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.

1
Contributing to the NZIA and Clean Industrial Deal to drive sustainable industry growth.
2
Inspiring public interest and understanding of clean energy opportunities.
3
Partnering with public authorities to create high-impact community initiatives.
4
Equipping the workforce with portable, future-ready skills to support global clean energy goals.

Green Energy City
We believe that embedding a net zero mindset from the early years is essential. This goes beyond simply cultivating knowledge; it’s about nurturing the next generation of sustainability leaders and providing them with exceptional learning opportunities.
Green Energy City represents a collaborative effort between gaming specialists BlockWorks, energy experts from InnoEnergy Skills Institute, and educational consultants i2e. This high-quality Minecraft learning resource is designed to introduce millions of young learners to crucial sustainable technologies, including solar power and battery storage, through engaging, interactive, and deeply informative experiences.

Open Skills Hub
As part of the Community Programmes initiative by InnoEnergy Skills Institute, the Open Skills Hub delivers on our mission to enable access to clean tech education. As a close partner of the European Union, we play a key role in delivering the European Commission’s skills strategy. We run the Net Zero Industry Academies turning policy into action to ensure that citizens in Europe benefit from the transition.
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.”
