This requires bold efforts in education and workforce training to produce a new generation of energy professionals, reskill the current workforce and create informed consumers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This interactive event, sponsored by the Green Learning Network, the International Renewable Energy Agency, REN21 and UNEP\u2019s Youth and Education Alliance, brings together panellists at the forefront of renewable energy education and training to share innovative approaches to skill building and is useful for anyone interested in building a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We will explore both challenges and solutions in areas such as adapting curricula to meet emerging knowledge and skills requirements; the role of educators across all levels and disciplines in helping students understand the opportunities and massive growth in clean energy careers; and systemic reform needs. The interactive session will include discussion of resources, successful examples, solutions and sharing mechanisms during this interactive session.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Context on Education and Skills Needs for the Energy Transition<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Samah Elsayed, Programme Officer- Renewable Energy Education, International Renewable Energy Agency<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Innovative Education Approaches<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Moderated by Dr. Debra Rowe, President, U.S. Partnership for Education for Sustainable Development<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Professional Development for Educators: \u00a0Renewable energy curricula and instructional materials<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr. Kenneth Walz, Director, Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education (CREATE), Madison Area Technical College, Wisconsin, USA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Training the renewable energy workforce of the future<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Alan Goundry, Head, Energy Academy at Newcastle College, UK and member of UK Green Jobs Taskforce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Skill building to address energy access<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Giles Bristow, Director of Programmes, Ashden<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Delivering an inclusive solar industry curricula<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Hope Nyambura Njoroge, Business Development Officer, Strathmore Energy Research Centre (SERC), Kenya<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">National approaches to renewable energy vocational education and training<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Speaker from Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training, Germany<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Q and A<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Reflections &#8211;\u00a0Rana Adib, Executive Director, REN21<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Implications for all educators discussion with participants<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This event is co-sponsored by the Green Learning Network, the International Renewable Energy Agency, UNEP:YEA!
