The energy conservation project: This initiative exploited the expertise of a major power generator with a workforce of about 4,000 employees and which includes a wide range of professionals and trades. The company had the vision to be the energy employer of choice and saw a responsibility to maintain an active presence in the community. It employed an Energy Education Advisor who provided a range of services to the Network. The focus was on communicating issues around energy conservation. The support from the industry provided opportunities for students to engage with the community in ways that make their learning more public.
