Education for a renewable energy future with Arnaud Gallois, Daniel Bray and Mark Stedwell

In these three interviews, we look at courses you can take for the sustainable future.

We have Arnaud Gallois from Melbourne University, Daniel Bray from Latrobe University and Mark Stedwell from Gippsland TAFE.

We need new skills and people who can draw on several disciplines to ride the waves of change. Last week we heard about the Latrobe Valley and the ways in which workers there are preparing for the renewable energy future. Today we find out about some of the courses of study available to prepare for that future.
