The wind energy sector faces significant workforce demands, with the Global Wind Organization (GWO) addressing safety and training needs. By leveraging digital technologies like virtual reality, companies like Kanda are transforming GWO training, offering scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions. This innovation enhances safety, operational efficiency, and workforce development in the industry.
As the demand for clean energy continues to surge in the renewable energy sector, so does the imperative to ensure the safety and competence of the wind industry’s workforce. The ambitions for a green transition are high and spoken out loud. But let’s face it, the challenges are enormous.
Just take a brief look at the latest IRENA report. It states that we need to employ an additional 26 million people in the renewable energy sector before 2030 to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. That’s 26 million people.
How will we effectively handle the need to train all these newcomers in the industry? Train them to install, maintain, and repair the industrial solutions we rely on in the renewable energy sector in a safe and scalable way?
In this context, the Global Wind Organization (GWO) emerges as a cornerstone in the wind industry. It offers a comprehensive training framework, with standards for entry-level service technicians led by the major players in industry.
