🌬Le Minh Thanh, Country HSE officer for SGRE Vietnam and GWO Representative, will outline the industry need in a presentation to the Vietnam WindPower Conference in Hanoi on 2 December 2022.

Highlighting an opportunity for training providers to deliver much-needed training for a workforce of thousands, Thanh explains:

"Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy is a leading member of Global Wind Organisation and our company shares a commitment with other OEMs and wind farm owner operators to use GWO training where appropriate for safety and technical training of wind turbine technicians. This is especially important in a high growth market like Vietnam. If we want to ensure a good minimum standard of safety training for thousands of new technicians, GWO standards are the industry's choice."

Global Wind Organisation (GWO) and Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) today published their latest joint report forecasting the numbers of wind technicians required over the next five years. The Global Wind Workforce Outlook 2022-2026 report reveals a 33% growth in the number of wind technicians needing standard industry training: up from 426,700 in 2021 to 568,800 by 2026.

The need to recruit the extra 142,100 new technicians over the next five years suggests a raft of opportunities for new talent to enter from full-time education and to transition from other sectors, including some currently working in fossil fuels.

The Global Wind Workforce Outlook 2022-2026 highlights an urgent need for faster growth in safety and technical training capacity to meet the current gaps in supply. The report demonstrates a significant opportunity for up to 450,000 technicians to complete their industry standard, GWO training during the next five years. With 80% of these 450,000 technicians required in seven countries: China, USA, India, Brazil, Japan, Vietnam, and South Korea, growth in these markets will be particularly notable.

“Over the next five years, the industry has a clear need for increased availability of recognisable safety training globally and in nine selected markets in particular,” says Jakob Lau Holst, CEO of Global Wind Organisation.

“For a smooth transition from fossil fuels to a sustainable future, it is imperative that safety training keeps apace with wind industry growth. I hope this report will help to build confidence for investors and policy makers by forecasting steady and sustainable industry growth, trigger increased awareness of the tremendous opportunity to foster business and job creation, and put workforce safety to the forefront of their agenda.”
