The PG Diploma program is aimed at producing future leaders in the energy sector.

The global energy system is undergoing a process of rapid change. Industries, economies, and society in general face complex challenges and uncertainties that could become more extreme in the future. Both the government and industry need to be able to understand and adapt to the changing context of the world’s energy requirements.

Through this course, you’ll gain rigorous analytical training and in-depth real-world knowledge of global energy systems. There’s also hands-on training in the design, installation, and management of energy-related issues. Your post-graduate diploma in renewable energy in India training will help to give you an added advantage in the energy job market.

The Solar Job Market

A  Natural Resources Defense Council ( NRDC ) report makes clear that scaling up solar energy will not only address growing energy demands and climate change threats but also add as many as one million new engineers, technicians, solar installers, maintenance workers, and performance data monitors to its workforce.

The Report, filling the Skill Gap in India’s Clean Energy Market outlines the types of new jobs and new training facilities and institutes needed for India to reach its 500 GW solar energy target by 2028. Approximately 183,500 full-time jobs for Senior Management would be generated if India has to reach this target.

One of the biggest challenges for India’s booming renewable energy industry is getting skilled manpower. The primary goal of IISE is to fill this gap through solar short-term, long-term courses & solar workshops.
