Proud of our past, ready for our future.
Clean Energy Career Scholarships
As we shift from coal to clean energy local workers must be included. We need to support training and job pathways so locals can be job ready for renewables.
Hi Neighbour is helping locals up-skill for clean energy careers. Each round focuses on crucial clean energy jobs and vital demographics in our community. For each round have a total of $20,000 financial support to offer alongside priceless mentoring, industry introductions and Hi Neighbour support.
So far we have supported electricians, women and gender diverse people and now, with FIRST POWER we are supporting First Nations people from the South Eastern regions of NSW.
Check out our amazing awardees from our previous round for women and gender diverse people.
