Join us at this free accessible webinar focusing on the needs for enough skilled and well trained workers for construction, installation and operation and maintenance for the wind industry.
The latest Global Wind Workforce Outlook – published October 2023 by GWO & GWEC (Global Wind Energy Council) reveals that over 574,000 technicians will be required by 2027. With almost 43% of these being new talent to the industry, the need for entry level safety and technical training is growing rapidly. The report details the massive growth in numbers of wind technicians required to meet forecast construction, installation, operation, and maintenance (C&I and O&M) of the world’s wind fleet up to 2027.
In collaboration between Wind Europe, Global Wind Organisation (GWO) and Energy Innovation we are happy to invite for a free accessible webinar addressing the challenges having enough skilled workers for the fast growing on- and offshore wind industry.
We are happy to present insight to this very important topic by Mariana Batista from Wind Europe, leader of the newly established working group for Skills and Education, and Ralph Savage, Director Global Development & Stakeholder Relations from Global Wind Organisation.
