Electricians and Plumbers
It takes a tradie. Your magnet is already on the fridge, card in the desk drawer or sticker on the appliance you installed 5 years ago. When the phone rings, you are the single most important person when it comes to ensuring the best outcome for your client. In this course you'll learn to think laterally about solving not just the acute needs of your client, but coming up with a plan to bring together a fully electrified home. Every home needs a plan, and tradies have a huge opportunity to lead.
Building Retrofit Professionals
Architects, Designers, Renovators, Energy Assessors. With great power, comes great responsibility. So you've been brought into a retrofit or rebuild project by your client for your expertise. Now it's time to become an electrification expert as well. Our course will break down all of the different technologies, product limitations, install considerations and more so you can deliver electrification with confidence, to your clients.
Community Group Volunteers
Electric communities have taken off around the country led by prime mover Saul Griffith and the dedicated team at Rewiring Australia steered by CEO Francis Vierboom.

TESTIMONIALS
What our participants say
Testimonials from previous econome programs
"I really enjoyed all sessions. I was able to upskill my knowledge across several sustainability areas and both the hosts and guest educators were of the highest caliber. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone in or wishing to enter the environmental sector."
Luke Vanderzeil
Sustainability Consultant
"The econome program I completed gave me an amazing foundational understanding of what's required for a company to 'go net zero'. Convincing my organization to move to net-zero has become a whole lot easier as I know what's required, the potential benefits and what next steps might look like."
Henri Pryde
Product Manager
"The econome learning experience I completed was an insightful experience on setting an effective climate strategy. I particularly enjoyed the support from industry experts, and the level of depth of more niche topics such as the GHG Protocol and Science Based Targets. The platform was excellent, and easy to use while the program catered for flexibility of participants. The program was unique and helped me appreciate the complexity of net-zero, and considerations businesses need to consider. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn more about sustainability, and even those working in the space!"
