The API are supporting the industry professionals wanting to inspire the next generation of the Australian power sector workforce.

​

The power industry is facing a significant challenge in attracting the next generation of talent that is needed to manage our future power systems. Due to the lack of understanding, awareness and visibility of the amazing work happening in this sector. The API was created for this purpose, and we’ve been working for years with our member organisations, partners and undergraduate students to inspire the next generation.

But we want to achieve more, and we invite you to join us!
