Abstract

If the marine energy sector is to achieve the domestic targets set by the NHA, jobs will require a combination of specialized training and advanced degrees. A fully functional industry will eventually require jobs across various disciplines including:

  • Project Development
  • Environmental Monitoring
  • Manufacturing and supply chain 
  • Ports and staging
  • Maritime construction
  • Operations and maintenance

As this industry expands, there is a critical need to develop a skilled and competent workforce capable of designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining marine energy systems. This paper explores the challenges, strategies and considerations involved in building a robust marine energy workforce pipeline to support the growth and sustainability of this sector.
