Good Energy School II
Thanks to the efforts of the project’s implementers, since September 2018 vocational colleges in Zbarazh and Kiev have been running an experimental educational programme to train renewable energy systems installation and maintenance specialists.
Future teachers of this profession completed a few weeks of training and practices in Poland, allowing them to teach the relevant subjects. Based on Polish technologies, the first renewable energy laboratories in Ukraine were opened in modernized buildings of both schools. The laboratories are equipped with solar installation simulators, photovoltaic modules and computer systems with software. Thus furnished, they can be used not only for teaching but also for practical applications. Thanks to a collector installation, the Zbarazh school and dormitory now have access to hot running water. The project results will also be popularization of Polish technology and support to Polish entrepreneurs from the RES sector on the Ukrainian market. Already during the implementation stage the management of the Kiev Vocational College signed an agreement with Hanplast Sp. z o.o., a Polish manufacturer of photovoltaic panels. Thanks to the cooperation, the company will acquire skilled installers familiar with state-of-the-art RES technologies and also ensure that the installations used in training will continue to work efficiently for years to come. Roman Polikrovsky, the mayor of Zbarazh, says: “Polish-Ukrainian cooperation in RES is particularly valuable. It not only allows us to save energy, but also to grow. For the city to develop, the possibility of teaching a new profession and educating pupils in areas related to renewable energy systems is a real boon.”
