Description and Impact

We are looking for a highly motivated Experteer to develop our training and educational materials for wind energy technology. The end goal is to have an accredited course recognized by international institutions. 

To start, we need assistance developing educational elements for:

  • volunteers who come from all over the world as part of their academic qualifications

Eventually, you'll move on to explore the accreditation requirements in the US, UK, and eventually internationally. Working closely with the Board Education Officer, workshop and field engineers, you will create a course program that meets these requirements to attract volunteers and ensure their hard work counts as a credit in their home institution.
