The global wind industry is rapidly changing to meet the current and future demand for renewable energy. The need to train professionals working in this dynamic environment has never been greater. The Global Wind Organization is a leading association of wind energy professionals, with more than 3,300 members representing all aspects of the sector. The GWO offers a variety of training courses at its Annual Congress and in regional events around the world. Check out the training calendar to find upcoming courses on your favorite topics. Here are some important things to know about the global wind industry.

Interested in the Wind Industry?

If you take on the GWO training course, according to GWO themselves, you'll gain a better perspective of the risks and benefits associated with the wind industry. All in all, the job market for wind turbine technicians is very good. The number of job postings has grown at a rapid pace in recent years, and the industry has experienced significant growth. In fact, job growth in the sector has been so robust that the number of jobs has more than outpaced the number of openings. This growth, combined with a shortage of workers, has led to a high demand for training in wind turbine-related courses. The growing use of online learning and distance learning has made it possible for many professionals to participate in on-site and off-site training at affordable costs. Because of the importance of work-life balance, it's critical that all professionals in the wind and turbine industry understand the available options.

What Is the Job Market Like for Wind Technicians?

The job market for wind technicians continues to trend in a positive direction. There are currently about 8,000 jobs available in the industry worldwide, with about 7,500 of those jobs available stateside. The job market in your region may vary, so it's important to keep in mind local availability when deciding which type of training is right for you. It's important to note that the demand for workers in the wind industry is expected to increase significantly over the next decade. This demand is driven by a number of factors such as the adoption of renewable energy sources and the installation of wind turbine systems.

At its heart, training is about creating a foundation for future success. In the case of wind technicians, this can be found in the concepts and skills learned through courses such as General Theory and Practice of Wind Energy. Every 10 years, the International Conference of Wind Engineers is held in Germany. The International Conference of Wind Engineers is the largest international wind energy conference and gathers engineers from all over the world to share current research results, discuss future projects and discuss the future of wind energy generation.
