We’re doing more than just creating job opportunities for America’s skilled workers – we’re adding to their number. With every project, Ørsted is investing in educational and training initiatives that will help build a diverse, equitable renewables workforce.
Taking action to boost the clean energy workforce:
- We signed a National Offshore Wind Agreement with North America’s Building Trades Union (NABTU). This historic agreement commits Ørsted to providing training to and employing a union workforce to construct and install all of our offshore wind farms
- We’ve already invested $49 million in U.S. workforce development efforts, with major initiatives launched in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island
- We sponsor teachers in the local school districts where our projects operate, helping them attend training sessions to learn how to incorporate STEM activities into their classwork
