Kurzeme Planning Region has prepared this report as part of the EE-LV00063 project: Possibilities for Public-Private Partnership in Upgrading Harbours for Offshore Developments (Harbours and PPP).
This report highlights the crucial role of modernising educational systems in Latvia and Estonia to meet the growing workforce demands of offshore wind energy projects. By identifying key challenges and proposing solutions, it outlines how regional collaboration, innovative educational programmes, and industry partnerships can prepare specialists for the construction, operation, and maintenance of offshore wind farms.
With offshore wind farms expected to impact harbours and local communities, the report emphasises the need for joint strategies to ensure positive development, strengthening resilience and regional competitiveness. The findings contribute to the broader goals of the Harbours and PPP project, focusing on creating sustainable opportunities for harbours and local economies.
