Education, Skills & Employment

Mooir Vannin will support skills development and provide employment opportunity.

Ørsted is passionate about supporting skills, education and job creation as part of our commitment to developing sustainable and lasting economic and social value in the local communities where we operate.

We have been delivering employment, skills and educational outreach for many years in the key regions where we operate in the UK.

Ørsted and the Mooir Vannin Offshore Wind Farm project will bring new opportunities for employment on the island both directly and indirectly.

We have already committed to an operations and maintenance (O&M) base on the Isle of Man which will create long-term well-paid opportunities for local employment. These roles are expected to comprise skilled technical, operational, and maintenance support functions associated with the offshore infrastructure and landfall assets granted consent.

Additional economic benefits are anticipated through expenditure with Isle of Man suppliers, opportunities for local businesses to participate in project supply chains, skills development and training opportunities.

We are already working with many Manx suppliers and hope that our project will create further employment opportunities in the local supply chain. Read more about Isle of Man Supply Chain

Case studies:

STEMFest
Ørsted participated in the Isle of Man STEMFest in March 2026 hosted by the Isle of Man government. The event saw more than 840 Year 5 and 6 students from the Island’s primary schools learn about STEM subjects through hands-on, interactive activities. The event aims to help students better understand how these subjects connect to real world careers and industries.

At our Ørsted stand we had activities explaining how offshore wind power works with model turbines, outfits to dress-up like a wind turbine technician, and a ’Where to Put My Turbine’ game.
