Skills Group

Lead by Port Training Services

By enabling collaboration between education and employers, the aim is to build a pipeline of skilled talent to support growth in the sector. Not only for North East England businesses, but to act as a UK centre of excellence in skills provision for the offshore wind sector as it continues to grow and innovate.

Skills are the most powerful enabler for any industrial sector to thrive and deliver.  It is critically important that education and training providers come together, with employers and stakeholders in the offshore wind sector, to ensure that there is alignment between skills provision and workforce requirements, both now and in the future, to help position North East England as the place to be for offshore wind.  Through alignment of skills provision with the most up to date workforce requirements from industry, the Skills Group will be ideally positioned to respond and react to the needs of the offshore wind sector, by supplying a pipeline of local talent through its collection of colleges, private training providers and universities.
