Past Webinar: PowerMakers

This webinar reviewed our PowerMakers capacity building program and provided key information to help you decide whether to participate in PowerMakers 2024 later this year.

PowerMakers is more than a training program. It’s an opportunity for First Nations people to take the reins of the clean energy transition. Over five days, we dive deep into everything from community energy planning to renewable energy technologies, effective advocacy, negotiation, policy and project ownership – all with the aim of ensuring our voices are front and centre in this critical moment.

What to expect in the Webinar:

• Get an overview of the program’s key objectives, from practical energy solutions to strategies for effective lobbying and partnership building.
• Hear from last year’s PowerMakers participants about the value of the program and how it has equipped them to make real change.
• Learn how you can join PowerMakers 2024 and what to expect. 

PowerMakers Program Overview

PowerMakers is a five-day immersive experience focused on practical and applied learning in clean and renewable energy.

The program aims to build the confidence and knowledge of First Nations leaders to realise the opportunities of the clean energy transition, manage and understand the risks, develop successful clean energy projects, and build fair and equitable partnerships.

By equipping leaders and communities with these skills, First Nations will be supported to participate in and benefit from Australia's renewable energy revolution.

During the PowerMakers program, we explore community and energy landscapes, delve into energy engagement, planning, and the practical steps to bring renewable energy projects to life.

Participants have the opportunity to engage with industry experts, passionate mentors, and like-minded peers.

Combining theory with real-world application, the curriculum enables participants to become leaders in the clean energy transition and progress clean energy projects and opportunities successfully by, for and with, Community.
