  • Innogy Pilots New National Apprenticeship Hub
    Press Release innogy pilots new national apprenticeship hub Future turbine technicians sought to service state of the art wind farms Recruitment of eight new apprentices underway Deployment across UK wind farms Swindon, 30th April 2020 innogy is to pilot a national apprenticeship hub in a bid to help meet the skills-needs of its growing portfolio of state-of-the-art offshore wind farms, and those of the wider UK industry. The company is now launching a recruitment drive to find prospective candidates to join the apprentice wind turbine technician programme in September, and who will have the chance to go on to work on its most advanced offshore wind projects. The training hub builds on innogy’s award winning apprenticeship programme at Coleg Llandrillo, part of the Grŵp Llandrillo Menai, in North Wales. The first two years of the apprenticeship programme will be based at the college in North Wales, with a third year of hands-on work experience at Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm, off the coast of Lincolnshire or at Rhyl Flats, off the coast of North Wales (see Apprenticeship Fact File below1). Richard Sandford, Director of Offshore Investment & Asset Management for innogy Renewables UK, said: “We are thrilled to launch this pilot programme. Our extremely successful apprenticeship programme was first launched in 2012 to generate skilled technicians that could meet the needs of Gwynt y Môr. This course has since trained nearly 30 new apprentices producing high quality technicians who have been deployed, both locally and across the UK. This is why we are keen to trial this national hub as the need is clearly now wider than North Wales.” This year will see innogy recruit eight trainee wind turbine technicians, its biggest intake to date and all due to commence in September.
