Mr. Stuart Livesey, who presented at the workshop, said: “CIP will need a qualified workforce for our portfolio of future projects, La Gan as an example if built out to its full 3.5GW capacity, will require over 45,000 FTE employees throughout its lifetime (FTE = 1 full time employee for a year). CIP seeks to support Vietnam and its people in benefiting from the employment aspects of the high-tech offshore wind industry, and also to allow Vietnam to become a major renewable energy export hub for the future to APAC and beyond.’’

Speaking at the conference, Associate Professor Nguyen Duc Huy – Vice Principal of the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, said: “Offshore wind power needs to be developed to meet the needs of the socio-economic growth, while ensuring the goal of energy transition and sustainable development, which are the topics of great interest to universities. The common thing among these topics is the multidisciplinary nature and constant changes. Creating high-quality human resources to meet the requirements of offshore wind industry requires the collaboration of businesses, universities and state management agencies.”
