RWE launched its a free interactive offshore wind learning programme, with Springpod in 2024. The free online platform provides pupils with a detailed introduction to the offshore wind sector.
The learning package is targeted at 13-18 year olds and includes videos and interviews with RWE team members. It allows students to explore the innovative world of offshore wind – from creating offshore wind farms to environmental factors and cutting-edge engineering projects. It also gives them valuable information about the various careers and pathways into RWE and the wider sector.
A key benefit of having this learning available online is that it’s convenient and accessible regardless of location. Physical work experience within offshore wind is sometimes difficult – so making the information and opportunities available on a virtual platform means that we can engage with a wider audience of young people.
The programme is available until May 2025 and the full virtual work experience package is available at no cost. It should take about 7-8 hours to complete and and can be carried out at your own pace.
Those completing the programme will get a downloadable portfolio of their work and a certificate of completion which can be used to enhance applications for jobs, apprenticeships and UCAS personal statements.
