Technical and Vocational Ed. and Training Cooperation between Brazil and Germany - Program for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency “Energy systems of the Future” Objective: Increased participation of renewable energies and energy efficiency in the energy matrix Coordinating Partner: MME (Brazilian Ministry of Mining and Energy) Project Components Energy planning Regulation Technical and Vocational Ed. and Training Dissemination EPE ANEEL SENAI, MEC Several

TVET Component - Objective and Success Factors The basis for technical and vocational education and training in the area of Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) is established in line with the demands of the sector. Development of quality-assured education and training courses in line with the demand of the Brazilian RE and EE sector Appropriate balance of practice and theory (approx. 50:50) – trainings involving companies Inclusion of international and German experiences

Success Factors 1 Closely linked to industry needs ABINEE (June 2015): Workshop of the PV group to discuss qualified workforce demand in the sector 2 National level coordination/TVET standards MEC – Ministry of Education: Committee to promote TVET in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency with Federal Institutes for Education, Science and Technology SENAI DN: Development of national occupational standards for “Energy Managers for the Industry and Building sector” together with private sector 3 Training of Teachers and Instructors Tailor-made training units applying a theoretical and practical approach to prepare instructors to offer the new training courses SENAI / GIZ – Train the Trainer – November 2015 PV installations 4: Public Private Partnerships Cooperation of Brazilian and / or German companies with training institutions to implement training centers and to realize training courses Benefit to the company: Qualified staff; contact to target groups, amongst others 11

German and Brazilian Government agreed in 2011 to cooperate for biogas to energy promotion 5 years Initiative (2013 – 2017) Brazilian Ministry of Cities is Coordinating Counterpart for DKTI Biogas

Starting Point of GIZ/KfW project: Cities ministry did´t work on biogas Capacity development and building on all levels (private, public, academic) CD on specific topics like fertiliser regulation, tender, biomethane, etc. Example: Training for Environmental Permit Authorities Publications: http://www.cidades.gov.br/saneamento-cidades/probiogas/publicacoes Challenges in the area of capacity development in biogas in Brasil: - Still missing know-how on biogas in financial institutions - Very few national highly compentent biogas project developers

Brasil: 2,8 MW, organic waste from fruit and vegetable markets (and supermarkets and restaurants); sewage sludge Fotos: AAT Biogas Technology

RECP: Innovation & Skills Development Promoting vocational training, higher education and research for renewable energy in Africa Establishment of Master’s Programmes on Renewable Energy at University of Zimbabwe and National University of Lesotho Support to certified Vocational Training for Solar PV in West Africa and Uganda Africa-EU Research Symposia and Science to Business Events Results: 5 programmes supported, 65 students trained, 500+ African researchers mobilised, 35 scientific papers published

Energising Development activities worldwide

Capacity Development at EnDev Awareness Creation amongst Suppliers and Consumers (Dissemination of information and knowledge; awareness raising and sensitization) Technical and Vocational Trainings for Manufacturers (Build-up of technical know-how and mechanical skills) Professional Trainings for Vendors and Entrepreneurs (Development of business models; enhancement of managerial and market analysis skills; tutorizing in business administration) Capacity Building for Local Banks (Buildup of market know- how and risk management tools) Training of Academic Staff (Curricula Development, Tutorizing in market analysis tools and priovision of teaching materials)

Energy at GIZ Capacity Development and Skills for Energy Conclusion

Conclusion Renewables are a job creator Capacity Development is a must in all projects – because of its importance and complexity a strategy and tools are needed Skills for energy: Longterm multistakeholder approach rather than isolated shortterm initiatives Existing international standards need to be adapted nationally Standardized Technical and Vocational Education training is needed, and skills development for different educational levels 4 exit factors (closely linked to industry needs, national level coordination/standards, training of teachers and instructors, Public Private Partnerships)
