Internship programme to advance wind industry

Technical and environmental engineering advisory firm Harmattan Renewables is continuing its participation in the Wind Industry Internship Programme, so that student employees in the sector can acquire the experience and skills needed to address the challenge of an ongoing skills shortage in the local renewable-energy industry. The programme, first launched in 2021 by the South African Wind Energy Association, will equip graduates with the necessary skills to address ongoing wind turbine operations and asset management, as ageing assets can be repaired, says Harmattan Renewables director Chanda Nxumalo.
