Adam West is the Director of Industry Engagement for Powering Skills Organisation – a jobs and skills council looking into energy, gas and renewables. Originally trained as an electrician, Adam spent over two decades as a TAFE teacher, collaborating with industry to build an awareness and understanding of effective ways to encourage, support, and skill our workforce—whether it’s new apprentices, existing workers, or those seeking better opportunities.

In his most recent roles, Adam worked with education providers, government, industry, and communities to understand the broader NSW energy workforce’s skills needs, gaps, and context, with a special focus on Renewable Energy Zones. Now, he’s excited to take this work national.

Enthusiastic, dedicated, and genuine, he brings a deep commitment to workforce development.
