Free, on-demand virtual work experience for those interested in a career in renewables.

Alongside its partner Springpod, RWE in the UK & Ireland has created a new, bilingual, virtual learning experience to give young people an insight into what a career in the offshore wind sector would look like!

Springpod is an organisation that works with schools, colleges, universities and employers to create interactive learning programmes which empower the next generation and enable them to take their future into their own hands by giving them equal access to opportunity.

The learning package is targeted at 13-18 year olds and includes videos and interviews with RWE team members. It allows students to explore the innovative world of offshore wind – from creating offshore wind farms to environmental factors and cutting-edge engineering projects.

It also gives them valuable information about the various careers and pathways into RWE and the wider sector.

A key benefit of having this learning available online is that it’s convenient and accessible regardless of location.

Physical work experience within offshore wind is sometimes difficult – so making the information and opportunities available on a virtual platform means that we can engage with a wider audience of young people.
