Training Programs
CORE is expected to run training programs to foster growth in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
- Short courses
CORE is expected to run short courses in specific areas in RE&EE to educate professionals and non-professionals on current best practices.
Recently CORE members ran a short course on behalf of the Office of Climate Change and Development: Maintenance of Photovoltaic Systems for Non-Specialist.
