Strategising Solar: Standardised Training in a New Domain

Workforce Development is a central theme in the Safety & Training Forum 2025. This year, GWO is widening their scope to include solar training standards, and, for the first time, the Forum will explore the benefits of standardised training in the solar industry. Featuring perspectives from an expert-led panel, the opening solar session will focus on the specific challenges and opportunities that standardised training presents for this sector and how the new Global Solar Training Standards support these efforts.

Expert-Led Insights, Community-Driven Solutions

By joining your peers for this in-person event, you’ll get a first-hand impression of this milestone launch, including opening remarks from Sonia Dunlop, CEO of Global Solar Council, and Jakob Lau Holst, CEO of GWO. You’ll also hear the perspectives of Dennis Elsberg, Vice President HSQE Global Services at RES, Per Larsen, Head of Learning & Product Development at Maersk Training and Omar Camargo, Training Manager at Pearce Services.

As a complement to the panel discussion, you’ll also get the chance to participate in a workshop session. Devised with the needs of the training provider in mind, this workshop will consider the realities of preparing for solar-specific training.

Insights from this discussion will aim to shape the future of solar industry training for our training community and Health & Safety professionals alike.

The day will close with a knowledge sharing session, where GWO project managers will be available to welcome all your questions. Whether you’re curious about the launch of solar, the REcognition programme or have specific questions about standards, bring them to the conversation. We want to hear from you!
