In an ever-changing world, everything can be learned, worked on, developed and mastered. Isn't that so?
In 2024, GoShop Academy proved that a willingness to learn and develop is the key to success, especially in a sector as dynamic and crucial as renewable energies. This year, the academy marked a major turning point with intensive training courses, aimed at equipping technicians with the theoretical and practical skills essential to meet energy challenges. From Kinshasa to Bukavu, from Goma to Kigali, GoShop Academy has supported more than 1,000 technicians through online and face-to-face training courses on topics related to Renewable Energies:
- In-depth knowledge of solar technologies, ESS (Energy Storage Systems),
- Remote monitoring systems: Mastery of monitoring technologies for real-time remote monitoring of technical installations,
- solar pumping: training in the use of renewable energies for sustainable irrigation and water supply solutions,
- Security systems and video surveillance: Developing the skills needed to install and maintain modern security systems,
- Interpersonal and managerial skills.
This has only been possible thanks to the participation of our strategic partners such as Victron Energy, Huawei, Grundfos, Lorentz, Fronius . To access our online courses, please click on this link www.goshop.energy/fr/slides

These training courses are not simply an apprenticeship; they are a springboard to a better future for the next generation, with a particular emphasis on including women at the heart of the renewable energy sector, actively promoting their role and supporting the development of clean energy for a sustainable and equitable future. Each session was a promise of change in the profession for our technicians and those of our partners, a step towards a sustainable economy, and an opportunity to positively impact the community. 2024 has thus been a year of success, in which GoShop Academy has not only trained experts, but also sown hope and inspired a new generation to take the reins of the energy transition. And that's just the beginning.
Outlook 2025: A promising future for technicians and renewable energies
Building on the successes and lessons learned in 2024, the Academy is preparing to play an even greater role in 2025. The year ahead will be marked by a renewed commitment to meeting the growing needs of the renewable energy sector, with ambitious initiatives to build local capacity while supporting the region's energy transition. Our objective is clear: to consolidate our achievements, but also to broaden our influence to meet the growing demand for skills in the field of renewable energies.
1. A mentoring program reinforced by professional internships
