The CEC and EEC, along with a lot of other leading voices, are committed to ensuring that we have a clean economy workforce to achieve Australia’s 2030 and 2050 emissions reduction goals. The campaign associated with Careers for Net Zero is underpinned by three goals:

1. Growing the clean economy workforce

Ensuring the clean economy workforce is appropriately sized and skilled to enable a rapid transition to an equitable, prosperous and net zero emissions economy.

2. Empowering everyday Aussies to make a difference

Enabling students, graduates and experienced workers to find their role in Australia’s clean economy.

3. Moving beyond ambition to action

Supporting government and industry to co-create and deliver an effective workforce development strategy for the clean economy, and education and training systems that can rapidly scale to meet our net zero emissions goal.
