SKILLS GAP UPDATE
MAERSK TRAINING ALSO APPOINTS ITS FIRST FEMALE INSTRUCTOR IN THE WIND ENERGY DIVISION
Maersk Training also has appointed its first female instructor to work within its thriving wind energy division – a move that it says will help dismiss many pre-conceptions about this being a male dominated industry sector.
STATE-OF-THE-ART TRAINING FACILITIES
Lynn Lowes from Washington, Tyne and Wear joins the company, which offers state-of the-art training facilities and a range of courses for the maritime, offshore oil and gas and offshore wind sectors, from Life Aid Training, in Middlesbrough.
EXPERIENCE Lynn has worked within first aid and training for the past 14 years and recently added a diploma in teaching to her skill set. She will form part of a nine-strong team within Maersk’s Wind industry training division. As well as teaching the First Aid and Manual Handling courses, Lynn will be the lead instructor for the Level 2 Diploma, Staying Safe in the Wind Turbine Environment (Onshore and Offshore).
ENCOURAGING OTHERS
Commenting on her new position Lynn said: “This sector has been dominated by men for as long as I can remember and there is no real reason for it. It is a fast growing industry, which is having a positive impact on the economy and as such the need for skilled professionals to work within it will continue to grow - I just hope my success will encourage more women to jump on board.”
GLOBAL TRAINING COMPANY Maersk Training is an independent A.P. Moller–Maersk company, which operates a total of eight training centres in Denmark, Norway, United Kingdom, India, Nigeria and Brazil. Originally established to train people within the Maersk Group, Maersk Training is now open to all companies and individuals.
