Dong Energy is partnering with the Grimsby Institute to offer new offshore wind turbine technician apprenticeships.
The three-year apprenticeships will comprise of one year of classroom-based learning at the Grimsby Institute followed by two years working on site with Dong.
The students will be taught in a new virtual training centre opened by the Grimsby Institute this year.
A minimum of four apprenticeships will be available and the application process opens today.
The courses will start in September.
Dong said the apprentices will study as a maintenance and operations engineering technician with emphasis on turbine technology.
They will undertake a BTEC Level 3 in engineering, and, if they successfully complete the programme, will become full-time employees at Dong Energy.
Hornsea 1 programme director Duncan Clark said: “Dong Energy is committed to helping develop people with the right skills to deliver the UK’s offshore wind ambitions and so we’re delighted to be taking on apprentices in Grimsby.”
