7. 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

8. 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

9. 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 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

10. 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

11. 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:
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

12. Brasil: 2,8 MW, organic waste from fruit and vegetable markets (and supermarkets and restaurants); sewage sludge

13. 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

14. Energising Development activities worldwide

15. 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)

16. Incentives (grants) for projects – Capacity building

17. Energy at GIZ
Capacity Development and Skills for Energy
Conclusion

18. 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)
