THE ENERGY INTERVIEW
“ Offshore wind is one of the few technologies that can deliver clean energy at the scale and reliability the energy transition actually requires”
Serene Hamsho Founder and President The Offshore Wind Academy gap wasn’ t a US problem, it was an industry-wide one. We’ ve since trained over 600 professionals across more than 30 countries, and we’ re continuing to expand our curriculum and our regional reach. Today OWA serves as both a training platform and a knowledge hub for the offshore wind sector worldwide.
Q. WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE CAN ENROL IN THE ACADEMY?
» The short answer is: anyone who works in or around offshore wind, at any stage of their career.
Our learners range from earlycareer engineers looking to specialise and senior project managers deepening expertise in a specific technical area, to executives who need strategic grounding in a topic like auction bid strategies or project financing. We’ ve had PhD candidates sit alongside GE Vernova lead engineers and NREL researchers in the same course.
We also serve regulators, port authorities, lawyers and finance professionals who need to understand the technical and commercial dynamics of the sector without necessarily becoming engineers.
And for those entering the industry for the first time, we offer pathways specifically designed to provide that foundation. The common thread is that everyone who comes to OWA is a professional who wants to do their job better.
