Ergon’s apprentice program
ERGON Energy and Energex are offering a record 160 new apprenticeships across Queensland, including Cairns, in 2024.
Energy Minister Mick de Brenni said the electricity distribution networks were increasing their apprentice intake numbers by 10 per cent each year for 10 years as part of the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan, and supporting the rollout of advanced technologies, including batteries and systems to support rooftop solar and EVs.
Energy Queensland’s acting chief executive officer Peter Scott said Energex and Ergon Energy Network currently had 517 apprentices in various stages of their four-year apprenticeship.
Applications for the apprenticeships open in mid-2023 and will be for various positions with the electricity distribution networks around the state.
The new apprentices for 2024 will start in January and midyear at Energy Queensland’s specialised in-house training facilities, including in Cairns.
