EV-WT Training Programme

The proposed project will provide upskilling/training in 2 linked low-carbon technologies, to re-engage existing skills formerly utilised in peat-based industry and to provide sustainable employment opportunities into the future for the County workforce. In particular, the proposal provides opportunities for former workers and future generations disadvantaged by changes resulting from the implementation of Ireland’s Climate Action Plan, through upskilling pathways that enable participation in the move to renewables and electrical transportation. The training will have 2 aspects – the manufacture of small-scale wind turbines (WT) and the repair and maintenance of Electric Vehicles (EVs) – the implementation of which will align with actions contained in the Roscommon Climate Action Plan 2024-2029 and have a positive effect on Ireland’s carbon emissions reduction strategy.
