Ian Walz, national manager, learning and development at Printing Industries says the release of the Carbon Tax measures by the Federal Government last weekend should provide a major incentive for companies to reduce their energy consumption.

He says, “The sooner companies can embrace new methodologies to minimise their power consumption, the sooner they will profit from the cost savings to be made. There is no reason why every company in NSW should not be taking advantage of this opportunity.

“The day-long session is free, they just need to commit time and people to attend and then implement the learning’s across their business.”

Five workshops are scheduled for Sydney and others may be scheduled for non metropolitan areas depending on expressions of interest received.

The course is mapped to the competitive manufacturing competency unit MSACMT270A: use sustainable energy practices. A formal qualification and Certificates of Attainment will be provided to course participants on successful completion of classroom activities and submission of the Assessment Tasks and supporting information where necessary.

Workshop participants also receive a comprehensive workbook as well as valuable resources including an Energy Tracking and Reporting Tool to assist with monitoring energy use and implementing energy efficiency initiatives.

Each course is limited to 10 participants (two people from each company).
