SHINE moves from curriculum design to real-world implementation, bringing updated Solar PV training programmes and pilot activities into African VET schools.

The SHINE platform is being piloted with students at Huys Link Community Initiative (Uganda) as part of WP4. This phase focuses on adapting training materials to learners, combining online and practical learning, and testing the programme in real VET environments to evaluate its effectiveness and relevance.

WP4 has officially started. The SHINE Solar Energy VET programme is now being tested with students at Suame Technical Institute (Ghana) and Jobitech (Nigeria), marking the transition from development to real classroom implementation. This phase will validate the platform under real training conditions and guide its further refinement.

The SHINE Online Platform, developed by Zubigune Fundazioa, is a new digital tool to train VET teachers in solar PV, digitalisation and entrepreneurship. Piloted with schools in Uganda, Ghana and Nigeria, it is now ready to be used with students and, from May 2025, open to other organisations joining the SHINE network.

Discover the latest SHINE updates and explore how Solar PV training programmes are being redesigned to prepare the next phase of implementation across African VET schools.
