What are the most common challenges your training centre faces in attracting and retaining participants, and how can these be overcome locally? What partnerships (with employers, schools, governments, or other providers) could help expand access to training? Do you have examples of partnerships from your region? How can training providers adapt their delivery models (scheduling, location, formats, external funding) to better meet workforce demand? Roundtable Discussion

Workforce Development: Educational Perspectives

Moderated by Dana Cooksey, Project Management Office Manager at GWO

Why Workforce Development?

• Nearly 200 countries have pledged to triple renewables by 2030.

• To meet this target, the wind industry will need to undertake 320 GW of new installations annually.

Source: GWEC Global wind Report 2024

For GWO, the question becomes: what can we do to support the entry of new technicians into the wind industry to help meet this growth demand?

How might connecting GWO training to local education pathways open new opportunities for your centre? What challenges or obstacles do you see? If you wanted to align more closely with schools or vocational programmes, what kind of support from GWO and member organisations would you need? How could your training centre take advantage of the GWO REcognition scheme to build partnerships with higher education institutions or workforce programmes in your area? Roundtable Discussion

GWO Training Quality Assurance Responsible for:

This session isaconversation about innovatingGWO training:

Why are we having this conversation? Quality assurance and innovation

Why we need to innovate

How we should innovate

// Virtual Reality // AI

// Blended asynchronous learning // Inclusion of non-GWO training

What to focus on when innovating

Innovation has resulted in larger WTG with new risks and hazards for technicians

Innovation Whyweneedtoinnovate

Innovation in the training landscape introduces new understandings of learning and learners

World is always changing, we must innovate to adapt

Training setup and delivery: • • Safe Interactions and activities Fidelity • Participant Per formance: • • Knowledge Skills • Abilities

Quality Assurance Howweshouldinnovate

Certification Bodies certify training providers to deliver GWO training –considerthis wheninnovating

Quality is learning success i.e. the intended learning transfer has occurred during the delivery of a GWO training.

Delivery methods and training setup

Striking the Balance The focus // We need to innovate, and we need to do it within GWO’s quality assurance framework

Learning outcomes

Innovation must keep the

Why is Skills & Training a priority for GSC?

Meet rapidly growing global solar demand Weneed a workforce thatcan meetour goalof installing at least 1 TW per year from 2030 onward in more and more countries across the world.

Protect our people

Wemustensure that all solar is installed at the highest quality and safely to prevent injury and ensure solar has a social license to operate

Skilling and properly training our 7 million (and growing) workforce at the global level is critical to…

Ensure a just transition Weneed toensure that solarcreates local job opportunities in every town and city, that our workforce is diverse and aligned with the SDGs.

Drivers

Performance issues

Duplication

Anecdotal evidence of increase H&S incidents Developers and EPCs appear to be experiencing an uptick in health and safety incidents around the world, potentially comparatively high compared to other tech and the risk p ro file .

EPCs, asset owners and inverter manufacturers are duplicating each other with in- house training.

Some asset owners experiencing problems with quality of build and performance of sites.

Result: Insurers, developers, asset owners and industry associations have come together to fill the gap for a global solar training standard.

Workforce planning

Medium scenario forecasts 550k FTE needed for 2025 construction, 730k FTE needed by 2030. Workforce demand increases alongside the uptick of solar capacity addition. Scenario

Implementation

Investors

Insurance risk mitigation

Asset owner leadership

Leading asset owners have already committed to making the Global Solar Training Standard a requirement in contracts with sub- contractors.

Insurance providers are keen to use the Global Solar Training Standard to mitigate the claims they are seeing at construction and operation.

Investors and financiers, public and private, will be briefed and encouraged to use the Standard. Key opportunities include the IFC Performance Standards review, Equator Principles and Solar Stewardship Intiative ESG standard refresh.

Prior Challenges With Assessments

Requirements for Training V14

Assessment Forms

// // // // All varied greatly None were fully compliant with the requirements for training and the respective standard Some left out key learning outcomes Some had extra learning outcomes included as points of assessment Of the sample collected in 2024:

Changes to the Requirements

Requirements for Training V15

First Changes: V15 of Requirements

Place to record details about assessment performance.

Place to record evidence of non- conformities with safety practice

Place for signed record of attendance.

Place to record if the participant has met all learning objectives

Feedback on V15 of Requirements

The Declaration

Next Steps

To Reduce the Burden of Writing Assessments:

1. GWO will produce module specific PPAFs

2.GWO will produce written tests for all the modules which require a theory test

3.GWO will produce new PPAFs and Written assessments for each updated version
