In recent years, the Offshore Renewable Energies (ORE) Industry has expanded significantly. This industry is emerging, with an associated increasing complexity of frequently changing technologies and requirements. Offshore wind energy production is leading other marine renewable technologies with significant growth. Nevertheless, many types of ocean energy could be exploited, such as the energy of the tides or of the waves, and marine renewable technologists are developing a variety of technologies currently at different stages of implementation.

The ORE sector accounts nowadays with approximately 80,000 jobs and is expected to generate up to 54,000 new vacancies in the next 5 years across Europe. There is in Europe an ageing workforce that needs multiskilling education and training approaches and methods. The gradual ageing of this personnel increases the pressure to ensure the replacement and avoid the possible loss of skills. Meeting the increasing demand for qualified professionals and training a well-qualified labour force is becoming an emergency to support the development of the ORE industry.

Furthermore, training systems need to increase their ability to respond to quick changes in the ORE labour market and bridge the workforce's skills gaps. Within this framework, a set of guidelines has been developed not only to promote the stimulation of dedicated training offers and the skilling processes for the new workers expected in the ORE sector but also to guarantee equality in access to training, contributing to a more diverse and inclusive workforce within the industry.

These guidelines have been developed within the FLORES project, a two-year European Union co-funded project that promotes a strong and large-scale partnership to foster upskilling and reskilling of Europeans from all ages to boost Offshore Renewables. FLORES consortium is composed of fifteen different partners from 8 different countries: Spain, CETMAR, Asime and University of A Coruña (UDC); from Greece, the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas CERTH; from Belgium, Windeurope, University of Gent, IndustriAll European Trade Union and the European Marine Board; from Ireland, Aqualex Multimedia Consortium; from the Netherlands Deftiq and Bluespring; from Germany, the Submariner Network for Blue Growth; from France, the Lycée Fulgence Bienvenüe and the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions; and Italy mareFVG, the Maritime Technology Cluster.

The main objective of the poster is to present and explain the developed guidelines with the aim of promoting their use among the training providers.
