employ 32,000 people in the future. This includes a need for over 2,000 engineers who understand the core technology of offshore wind farming.
On Wednesday, the Denmark-based Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) announced a training program in partnership with National Taiwan University and Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The program will take DTU’s course as its foundation to offer online, on-the-job training to wind farm technicians.
CIP also announced it will help National Taiwan University set up a master’s degree program in offshore wind power.
Chiang Mao-hsiung, director of National Taiwan University’s engineering department, said the development will be a massive help in developing local talent for the country’s future needs. [FULL STORY]
