Download GWO's latest report on partnership models to help get your training center certified
Companies are seeing the growing demand for wind turbine technicians, and Global Wind Organisation’s (GWO) training catalog is the clear choice for developing the workforce. GWO has forecast that over 75,000[1] people will require the basic entry-level standard training to work on North America’s onshore and offshore wind turbines over the next five years.
As prospective training providers evaluate GWO standards, they may have questions about the most efficient and effective ways to achieve certification. GWO has today published a new guide on the options available.

The demand for wind energy continues to grow at a steady pace. By 2028, the world will need over 532,000 technicians to build and maintain wind fleets, both onshore and offshore. Notably, 40% of these roles will need to be filled by new entrants
Brazilian Association of Wind Energy and New Technologies, ABEEólica, has signed an MOU in strategic partnership with training standards body GWO. Tried and tested collaboration will provide certainty for all stakeholders, aligning Brazil’s safety regulations with globally recognised standards.
GWO and IRENA will initiate discussions of how global standards can best support skilled workforce development, in line with 2030 targets. Co-publication of the Jobs4RE Workforce Training Guidelines for the Wind Industry is set to follow in 2025.
The next generation of wind turbine technicians have a new training pathway to follow, courtesy of guidelines presented today by the Japan Wind Power Association working with GWO.
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
