The EU-funded project “Forward Looking at the Offshore Renewable Energies” (FLORES) feeds into the European Pact for Skills. It promotes a strong large-scale partnership to foster upskilling and reskilling of Europeans from all ages in Offshore Renewable Energies (ORE).
As part of this cross-country initiative, the FLORES team has conducted four pilot actions to address the changes in the ORE labour market and its rapid expansion. In particular, the challenge of developing reskilling processes to promote the mobility of workers from other energy sectors or the shipbuilding industry and upskilling the workforce to the specific ORE training needs in the multi-use of maritime space and marine spatial planning.
We have created a training itinerary addressing the specific needs in four areas of the Atlantic, the Baltic and the Mediterranean se basins.
The results of this excercise have been compiled under a report, where we outline how to facilitate the adaptation of the pilot action to different future target users,including other contexts, approaches and needs. Moreover, to assist its replicability.
If you want to bring these skilling initiatives to your area or constituency, you may benefit from the analysis of our experience:
- Pilot action description: provides the information related to the pilot.
- Syllabus: addressed to meet the students’ expectations.
- Teacher’s toolkit: designed to provide the trainers with enough information in order to adapt the materials to their target context.
- Impact and results: this section analyses the pilot experience.
And remember that the syllabus and teacher’s toolkit sections not only contain the information on the concrete pilot we conducted under the FLORES project, but they also provide instructions on how to create them from scratch.
You may consult our report in English, Spanish, French, and Italian.
