"The Minister for Skills and Regional Development, Jacinta Allan, launched a $1 million Specialist Energy Training Network of local TAFEs to secure a skills base for Victoria’s power industry. Ms Allan said 90 per cent of Victoria’s electricity and nearly all of Victoria’s natural gas was produced in Gippsland.“One of the key challenges facing our power industry is emerging labour shortages brought about by an ageing population and changing skills needs,” Ms Allan said.The Specialist Energy Training Network is one of three specialist networks to be funded as part of the 2006 skills and provincial statements."
