可再生能源领域对技术教育工作者来说是一个移动的目标，特别是那些负责全国两年制大学劳动力准备的人。为了更好地回答这些问题，一个由可再生能源教育工作者组成的团队将目光投向了其他国家，以了解他们是如何应对类似挑战的。这篇论文和随后的小组讨论介绍了该团队关于德国应对可再生能源劳动力教育挑战的发现。结果包括主要收获，特别是能源政策对培训效率和效果的重要性、文化转变的必要性和性质、减少专业学位而转而使用“传统”教育途径的趋势以及整合行业参与的模式。汇编的参与者数据还提供了总体观察结果，以及教育工作者对德国和美国可再生能源技术人员培训的异同及其影响的见解。
The renewable energy sector poses a moving target for technical educators, especially those charged with workforce preparation at the nation’s two-year colleges. To better answer these questions, a team of renewable energy educators looked to other nations to learn how they had met similar challenges. This paper – and subsequent panel discussion presents the team’s findings concerning the German response to renewable energy workforce education challenges. Results include key takeaways, notably the importance of energy policy on training efficiencies and effectiveness, the necessity and nature of cultural shift, trends towards reducing specialized degree and instead making use of “legacy” educational pathways, and models for integrating industry involvement. The compiled participant data also provides overarching observations, and educator insights into the similarities and differences in – and influences on – renewable energy technician training in Germany and the U.S.
