SKILLS GAP
SAFETY TECHNOLOGY TO DELIVER RENEWABLES TRAINING TO SCOTLAND
RenewableUK approved training provider Safety Technology Ltd recently became project partners on the Energy Skills Partnership (ESP) drive to deliver demand-led training to the Wind Energy sector in Scotland.
COLLEGE COLLABORATION The ESP is a collaboration of colleges across Scotland, with the main aim of establishing a high performing energy community. A new strategy focusing on pooling expertise and resources in the region will see industry specialists working together with the ESP to offer the qualifications needed for individuals to work on wind farms, onshore and offshore, across Scotland.
MARINE & WIND TRAINING NETWORK This newly formed Marine and Wind Training Network has established 3 centres in the North, East and West of Scotland.
Safety Technology Ltd, a leading safety training provider for the Renewables sector, based just below the border in Tyneside, have been selected as training project partners for operations in the West of Scotland, centred in Dumfries.
RESPONSIBILITY The UK based safety specialists will be responsible for the safety training aspect of the Marine and Wind Training Network, delivering industry required courses such as RenewableUK Work at Height and Rescue and Global Wind Organisation Basic Safety Training.
WORKING GROUP
By working with Industry to identify demands, ESP have created a working group which will ensure the Scottish Energy sector is supplied with the provisions needed for a fully skilled workforce.
Bob Dickens, Managing Director of Safety Technology Ltd said of their involvement in this new project from Energy Skills
Partnership in Scotland “We are delighted to have been selected to work with the prestigious partners on this programme and look forwarding to supporting this ground breaking training initiative.”
VIABLE CAREER CHOICE The ESP’s drive to develop the capability and capacity of training for this giant industry in Scotland is playing a key role in promoting the Wind Energy sector as a viable career choice for young emerging technicians, and ensuring the economic development of this sector.
TURBINE TECHNICIAN TRAINING Now, after years in the making, this industry recognised Turbine Technician training will soon be available for individuals to take from colleges across Scotland.
Safety Technology Ltd are currently providing the accredited safety courses which will be part of this new training from their RenewableUK and GWO facilities across the UK, Ireland and US, with facilities in South Wales, Great Yarmouth, South Shields, Blyth, Killybegs and Michigan.
