About the program

Commencing in June 2024 and running for six weeks, the EmPower program extended our existing apprentice partnership with NECA. 

The Indigenous pre-employment program offers successful graduates a pathway to join our Bright Spark Apprentice Program and built a talent pipeline more generally into the energy industry.
