Last week, the inaugural recipient of the VDC Australian VET Sustainability Fellowship for Vocational Education & Training, Peter Schreiner, received his certificate during the International Specialised Skills Institute (ISSI) 2023 Awards Ceremony. VDC Project Director Sandra Ball (pictured) presented the award to Peter.
Peter’s research will focus on workforce development practices in energy storage technologies including lithium-ion and flow batteries. The intention is to learn from leading European cell manufacturing facilities and gain an understanding of the various occupational roles within these organisations to determine skills and knowledge required to support future production and storage of renewable energy in Australia. This Fellowship also proposes to acquire knowledge of the battery manufacturing supply chain.
The VDC Australian VET Sustainability Fellowship for VET Practitioners involves travelling abroad to research new skills and best practice in areas such as clean and alternative energy, upcycling, recycling, innovative technologies and sustainable processes and procedures etc, then disseminate the findings to the Australian VET sector upon return.
Once again, congratulations Peter! We look forward to hearing all about your research when you return from your trip.
