Initial and further training in the r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy sector<br />

in Germany<br />

The expansion of r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy in Germany is to make dynamic progress in the years<br />

ahead, and to this <strong>en</strong>d the German governm<strong>en</strong>t has set ambitious targets. This expansion<br />

also has positive effects on the labour market. Today more than 367,000 people (s<strong>ee</strong> page<br />

36) have jobs in this area, and the number of employ<strong>ee</strong>s will continue rising in the years to<br />

come. To <strong>en</strong>sure that there are <strong>en</strong>ough skilled employ<strong>ee</strong>s available for this fast-growing market<br />

of the future, the topic of r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy n<strong>ee</strong>ds to be addressed at every level in the<br />

field of initial and further training. In rec<strong>en</strong>t years the Federal Environm<strong>en</strong>t Ministry has initiated<br />

discussion processes which in some cases have already led to activities on a basis that<br />

cuts across trades or educational paths. The educational sector is now called upon to take up<br />

“R<strong>en</strong>ewables” as the topic of the future.<br />

The project-ori<strong>en</strong>ted assistance for r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy sources by the Federal Environm<strong>en</strong>t<br />

Ministry (s<strong>ee</strong> http://www.erneuerbare-<strong>en</strong>ergi<strong>en</strong>.de/inhalt/42758/) has helped to take a closer<br />

look at the field of education for r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy and to develop teaching material for various<br />

educational areas. For example, schools and initial and further vocational training establishm<strong>en</strong>ts<br />

can obtain a wide variety of material, e.g. from the BMU Education Service<br />

(http://www.bmu.de/bildungsservice/aktuell/6807.php).<br />

At university level a large number of courses geared to r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy have emerged, including<br />

some permitting a special focus on this field. As yet, however, there is no regularly<br />

updated overview of the opportunities for further education and the quality of the offerings.<br />

An initial overview is provided by Internet portals on industry-specific opportunities for further<br />

education in the field of r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy. The following list is only a selection and<br />
