Clean energy and expert skills: explore PV Experts training
Energy transition is getting faster across Europe, and vocational schools are facing a critical challenge: a gap in skills for clean energy.
PV EXPERTS addresses this gap through innovative tools and courses dedicated to training educators and students in vocational education on the fundamentals of photovoltaic energy. These are new teaching methods on photovoltaic (PV), photovoltaic-thermal (PVT), and solar thermal (ST) technologies.
Are you interested in learning more about this training program and exploring the job opportunities and skills required in the solar energy sector in Sicily?
