Global Wind Organisation (GWO) has announced a strategic collaboration with the Japanese Wind Power Association (JWPA). Together, they will produce a document authored and published by JWPA in association with GWO.
The guideline document will describe entry level wind technician knowledge, skills ,and abilities and how GWO is one of the means available to acquire that knowledge and skill. The two non-profit associations will commence joint work on the project with analysis of how current GWO training standards meet the needs of wind technicians working in Japan both onshore and offshore. A task force of training and safety specialists convened by JWPA will then collaborate with GWO project managers to develop the guidelines, which will be prepared in English and Japanese translations.
