Increasing access to training, creating employment, and building career paths in clean energy is one of the key factors that will determine if the energy transition improves the lives of First Nations Australians. Building longer-term employment and skill development (‘careers not jobs’) is a primary pathway to generational wealth building for First Nations Australians. Currently, there are low numbers of First Nations Australians working in the clean energy sector. The First Nations Clean Energy Network engaged the Institute for Sustainable Futures (University of Technology Sydney), SGS Economics, Alinga Energy and Indigenous Energy Australia to examine the barriers, opportunities and solutions to increasing First Nations Australians’ employment in clean energy. Through a combination of employment modelling and data analysis, literature review, interviews and workshops, this study has developed an action plan with 12 key recommendations for how industry, government and employment and training specialists and First Nations communities can realise opportunities for employment and career paths in clean energy.
