Education is one of the cornerstones of our activities. We believe that the development of offshore wind energy in the Baltic Sea depends on the continuous education of future professionals.
We have been initiating and actively engaging in activities aimed at disseminating of offshore knowledge at all levels of education since 2015, when we launched Poland’s first comprehensive, year-long educational and information campaign on offshore wind farms. We are involved in initiatives addressed to both school and university students, as the development of green energy in the country depends on the quality of future personnel.
Maritime Competence Academy
Our flagship program, the Maritime Competence Academy, is entirely dedicated to education. It represents our commitment to enhancing the qualifications of potential employees in the domestic offshore energy sector. We initiate and support training courses and contribute to the development of curricula at various educational levels.
We aim to support the development of the education system and skills, as well as facilitate access to appropriate training and professional experience. Our cooperation with local authorities, schools, and communities translates into tangible actions. Our joint initiatives include:
Exhibition on offshore wind energy
We are the initiators of the interactive exhibition “The Baltic Sea. A Sea of Green Energy”, which has been open since June 2024 at the Maritime Culture Center, a branch of the National Maritime Museum in Gdańsk. It is the first exhibition in Poland dedicated entirely to offshore wind energy.
Original educational program
We have organized three editions of our original educational project "One Sea, Many Benefits. Offshore Wind Energy in My Region" in primary and secondary schools in the municipalities of Ustka, Redzikowo, and Łeba. In total, approximately 4,500 students participated in all editions of the project during the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 school years. The aim was to raise awareness of the offshore wind sector and the new career opportunities it provides.
Cooperation for offshore education
We supported the project “Wind Energy – Energy of Freedom” – an educational program for 900 primary and secondary school students in the Lębork, Słupsk, and Wejherowo districts. We participate in direct meetings with young people, promoting knowledge about offshore wind energy.
Educational workbook
One of our initiatives is a free educational workbook that includes lesson plans on offshore wind energy. We created it for primary school teachers to help them introduce their students to the world of offshore wind energy in an accessible and engaging way. The materials are adapted to different stages of education and include:
- ready-made lesson plans,
- worksheets and suggestions for engaging exercises,
- experiments,
- and games.
The project aims to promote knowledge about renewable energy sources, especially offshore wind farms, explain the role of Pomerania in the development of this industry, and encourage students to explore related career paths and professions.
Training program for students
Training program for students
The "Setting the Course for Offshore" training program is designed for technical school students from classes specializing in renewable energy in the Tri-City region. Program participants are the winners of the competition "My Future with Offshore Wind", which concluded in November 2025.
The program includes sessions that allow students to go behind the scenes of companies operating in the offshore industry, including manufacturing enterprises, research vessels, and seaports. Students can complete GWO safety training, participate in navigation simulator classes, welding workshops, and demonstrations of new offshore technologies. This is the first program of its kind in Poland!
The program is implemented in partnership with Pomeranian Employers, Polish Offshore Wind Industry Chamber, Rumia Invest Park, and the Pomeranian Offshore Renewable Energy Competence Center.
