FREE OFFSHORE WIND TRAINING COURSE FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS
MAERSK TRAINING EXTENDS THEIR COMMITMENT TO LOCAL COMMUNITY
Local unemployed people in Tyneside are being offered free places on a new training course designed to help them take advantage of job opportunities in the thriving offshore wind energy market. The course is open to people who are unemployed, a UK resident for the past 3 years, aged 19 or over and live in the Tyneside region. Subsidised places are available for those that don’t qualify.
DEVELOPMENT
The course has been developed by Newcastle based Maersk Training and lasts approximately ten weeks. The Diploma covers essential safety skills people need to work in an offshore wind turbine environment, including: Safety Passport, confined space, electrical awareness, working at height, manual handling, sea survival, fire awareness and an industry related project. Everyone who successfully completes the course will receive a Maersk Training Diploma in Staying Safe in the Wind Turbine Environment (Onshore and Offshore).
ASSISTANCE FOR THE UNEMPLOYED David Bowyer, Head of Training & Education at Maersk Training said: “Tough economic times mean unemployment rates are high in our region. Encouragingly, the offshore and wind energy sectors are expanding at a very fast pace, so there are great opportunities out there for people seeking employment. We are committed to helping those who are less financially able, improve their prospects, by gaining a valued qualification.”
PROACTIVE MOVE
Adrian Yeaman, Operations Manager of Boston Energy said: “The Diploma is a very proactive way of bringing new technicians into the industry and Maersk Training should be commended in introducing this qualification. It allows us to draw technicians from the local community and support our clients with the best turbine technicians who know how to work safely.”
