General framework of the training offer
“This vocational training program is intended for those who, in the marine renewable energies market, want to develop their skills, as well as those who wish to develop their activity and join this emerging sector. It was designed with the dual goal of developing business markets and increasing the employability of the course trainees. This modular program will continue to develop over time, taking into account the needs and remarks, formulated by our partners, our stakeholders and trainees. Teachers, researchers and professionals worked together to build the program and all are involved in training delivery. “
Dominique Follut, WEAMEC manager and Franck SCHOEFS, Scientific manager of WEAMEC training programs
This training was designed by teachers of Centrale Nantes and Nantes University within the framework of WEAMEC.
