The official consultation question
Q31 · §4.4(b) · paper page 29
Do you think involvement in renewable gas projects improves the industry’s ability to attract newly qualified applicants? Please explain any evidence or experience that informs your view.
Shelby’s response
Yes, potentially. Renewable gas offers graduates and apprentices practical work connecting engineering, agriculture, waste management and emissions reduction. Modular upgrades and regional plants can provide experience across installation, commissioning, operations and maintenance.
Shelby’s international involvement informs this view, but we do not have Australian recruitment data demonstrating increased applicant numbers. We recommend placements, supplier partnerships and visible career pathways, with recruitment and retention outcomes measured as projects enter operation.
