Positioning Paper on Meriting Process

This GWO Positioning Paper provides an introduction to the key ambitions and terms of reference for a proposed expansion in opportunities to use a merit approach to safety & technical training in the wind industry

Report summary

In 2023 GWO and the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) published labour force forecasts for the next three years. The key metric, that over 574,000 technicians will be required by 2027, includes almost 43% of these being new talent to the industry. GWO and its members are looking for solutions to increase the throughflow of suitable talent from new sources. To feed that growth, there is an increasing need to merit training from outside of the wind industry and from over extended periods of time.
