Signed contract with Nunez Community College – Training workforce for offshore wind in Louisiana and New York through collaboration!
Just landed in Norway after one week in New Orleans / New York, following up the bi- and multilateral collaboration on GWO training, education of wind technicians, Innovation, R&D and business development for offshore wind in the Gulf of Mexico and New York / Northeast.
During the stay in New Orleans we signed an agreement for establishing a stronghold for training and education at Nunez Community College in St.Bernard Parish in New Orleans through the Energy Innovation – NORWAY franchising. We were very impressed by the commitment shown by Chancellor Dr. Tina Tinney and her team, as well as the stakeholders representing the local community.
