Professional Development in Renewable Energy Solutions: A Hands-On Preparation for Renewable Energy Project Fundamentals

RASENERGY OÜ is an Estonian-based international energy solution provider with a focus on Europe and Africa. The company aims to bring innovative and sustainable energy solutions to Africa’s urban and rural communities, making a positive impact on the continent’s future. With a project to be implemented in Ethiopia and across Africa, RASENERGY is seeking to recruit skilled employees to work on these projects. Recognizing the skill gap among graduates and students, the company has developed a real-world project experience program for recent graduates and students.

The program is designed for individuals interested in renewable energy projects and provides an overview of the different renewable energy technologies, including their benefits and limitations. Participants will learn how to choose the best renewable energy option for a project based on energy consumption patterns, site analysis, and project feasibility. In addition, the course covers the importance of energy storage and the different options available, as well as the benefits and challenges of combining different renewable energy technologies. Finally, participants will learn about the software available to support renewable energy projects.

The goal of this program is to introduce participants to the renewable energy sector and provide them with the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to work on renewable energy projects, specifically in Ethiopia and Africa. This program will equip students and recent graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to work on renewable energy projects, providing participants with practical experience and the opportunity to showcase their skills and knowledge to potential employers, such as RASENERGY.
