NT Clean Energy VET Accelerator Fund Grant

Overview The Department of Education and Training (NT) is administering the NT Clean Energy VET Accelerator Fund, which aims to strengthen the capability of Northern Territory training organisations to deliver clean energy and related vocational education and training aligned with emerging workforce needs. The fund supports capability-building activities that enable training organisations to expand scope, develop or update training resources, strengthen trainer and assessor capability and improve delivery readiness for clean energy, energy efficiency, advanced manufacturing, sustainable construction and related industries. About The NT Clean Energy VET Accelerator Fund is a joint initiative of the Australian Government and Northern Territory Government delivered under the Turbocharging the VET Workforce Federation Funding Agreement.
