These innovative workshops provide immersive, hands-on training opportunities based on real renewable energy scenarios. Both workshops are equipped with advanced solar and wind energy systems, allowing students to gain practical skills in line with industry standards.
Development of a comprehensive training module on climate change and the environment, and its inclusion in the vocational education program. The module covers topics such as the scientific basis and impact of global warming, the impact of human activity on climate change, the role of renewable energy sources in mitigating this impact, energy efficiency, and sustainable development.

"We believe that this project creates valuable opportunities for students to gain practical skills in the field of renewable energy technologies, and for teachers to improve the quality of teaching. Most importantly, the project contributes to the formation of a qualified workforce for Azerbaijan's energy transition by promoting sustainable climate literacy and environmental responsibility among young professionals," he said.
