Forum ’26: Clarifying Competence for an Evolving Workforce

As the wind and solar industries scale rapidly across the globe, the availability of qualified workers is becoming a critical determinant of delivering the energy transition. That’s why conversations around competence are vital to ensuring that Training Providers are aligned with an industry-recognised framework for success.

Whether you’re a training centre keen to understand more about how competence is defined and assessed within other organisations or an employer curious about what a requisite skills set looks like in the context of workforce mobility, this year’s GWO Safety & Training Forum & Awards has the session for you.

Featuring a variety of member perspectives, this session brings the GWO team into dialogue with the employers who deliver training from across the suite of GWO Training Standards. You’ll hear from Sami El-Daoud, Head of Global Training Excellence at Siemens Gamesa and Dennis Elsberg, Vice President of HSQE and Competence Management Global Services at RES and Chair of the GWO Solar Committee.

Join the Conversation

If you’re curious about what competence means at the level of your organisation and for global workforce readiness, then this is the event for you. Join this session to collaborate with your peers and explore what competence looks like for wind and solar technicians.
