The programme was delivered at ASL’s  dedicated training centre  at Kish Business Park in Arklow, Co. Wicklow.

Following completion of the programme , Mark Corcoran, MD  at ASL said;

“We were very proud to have delivered yet another Offshore oriented Wind Turbine Technican Training Programme from our base in Arklow, County Wicklow at Irelands home of Offshore Wind.

With a strong pipeline of Offshore Wind Projects getting closer to construction, we are delighted to be doing our bit to help prepare our own local Irish workforce and give them some of the skills that will be needed as this industry opens up, ASL will be continuing our investment in this area and associated technologies and training. We will be seeking to collaborate with other bodies as the industry continues to grow and look forward to helping grow the Irish Workforce and supplychain.

A key to Irish success in  Offshore Renewables will be gaining buy in from our 16-24 year olds, those moving towards leaving cert now- they will be the target workforce for this emerging industry. Our centres in Belfast, Dublin Arklow and Wexford and our mobile training units will allow us to be a big part of the training of a new workforce but also to aid in transitioning people from other similar sectors”
