Upwards of 172,000 more people will need to be trained to GWO standards over the next five years to meet the global offshore wind power market demand in line with health and safety standards, a new report has found.
These workers will need to be trained to construct, install, operate and maintain the world’s growing offshore wind fleet, representing only a fraction of the job opportunities available in the growing wind industry, the report states.
The report, The Global Wind Workforce Outlook 2021-2025, was released by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and Global Wind Organisation (GWO) in partnership with the Renewables Consulting Group (RCG).
