Preparing Educators for a Changing Energy Sector

When we talk about the future of the energy workforce, the focus often goes straight to new technology, new qualifications and new skills. But behind that transition are the educators carrying the change in real time. In this episode, Steve Hall, General Manager of VET and Technical Training at PSO, speaks with Kathy Druce, Head of Department, Electrotechnology at Canberra Institute of Technology, with more than 25 years’ experience in the electrical industry and around a decade leading CIT Electrotechnology. Together, they explore what it takes to prepare energy educators for what comes next - from industry connection and mentoring to curiosity, critical thinking and keeping apprentices engaged while maintaining the quality and safety standards the sector depends on.
