Collaboration will bolster training for Maine's offshore wind workers

MAINE PUBLIC • July 18, 2023

A new training collaboration in the offshore wind industry was announced Tuesday that supporters say will, as they put it, "marinize" the workforce. The partnership is between the Maine Community College System, Maine Maritime Academy and Diamond Offshore Wind, a private company planning to build a research array of 10 floating wind turbines, 40 miles south of Portland. The project is partly funded by $3 million in federal spending.
