About the Offshore Wind Power Human Resource Development Program
At the Research and Education Center for Offshore Wind (RECOW), we have developed the “Offshore Wind Power Human Resource Development Course” as a human resource development program designed to cultivate the engineering expertise and competencies required across all project phases related to offshore wind power, including planning, installation, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning.
※This program was selected for the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy’s Subsidy Program for Human Resource Development in Offshore Wind Power in fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024, under the project titled “Development of a Human Resource Development Program for Offshore Wind Industry Engineers.”
We are also working to develop a course system that is more accessible and convenient for engineers currently in the workforce.
＜Lecture Format＞
The lectures are delivered online. After the scheduled lecture hours, recorded lecture videos are made available, allowing participants to view the videos and take the course at a time that best suits their schedule
＜Target Participants＞
Engineers working for power producers, general contractors, shipbuilding companies, consulting firms, manufacturers, and related organizations.
＜Course Framework＞
This course is being developed based on lectures related to offshore wind power that are currently offered to graduate and undergraduate students at Kyushu University, Saga University, and the University of Kitakyushu, with the cooperation of the Offshore Wind Industry–Academia–Government Collaboration Consortium and other partners.
This course is operated in accordance with the Regulations for the Offshore Wind Power Human Resource Development Course of the Research and Education Center for Offshore Wind, Kyushu University.
