In Europe, we currently have 80,000 jobs linked to offshore renewable energies, which could increase by 124,000 new vacancies by 2030. However, to get there, we must not only invest in the implementation of offshore wind power in our waters, but also in professional training, to adapt it to the needs of a sector that is set to grow unprecedentedly in the coming years.
Within that context, the FLORES project works to foster skills in the ORE sector through different regional pilot actions. One of them is conducted in the Mediterranean sea basin, by its partner Asime, who is launching the free online course «Introduction to Professional Occupations and Job Design in the Offshore Renewable Energy Sector».
This course is addressed to Talent Managers of different companies and organizations, so that they can better understand the occupations and professional competencies demanded in the ORE sector, raising awareness of the real needs of this emerging industry, as well as integrating those profiles and skills in the HR processes, job design and in the skilling and re-skilling initiatives they may launch for their existing workers.
By the end of this 30 hours online course, participants will be able to identify the most in-demand skills in the ORE sector and incorporate them into their workforce job design and skill building processes.
