OFFSHORE WIND TRAINING
Delaware’s first certification program
With offshore wind energy leases approved and purchase agreements inked for neighboring states New Jersey, Maryland and New York, a new Delaware-based training program was built to address the needs of a regional offshore wind workforce. Having local professionals who are trained to work offshore will be critical to help propel the industry forward in the region. Continue reading…
