...World's growing wind industry could use American help

摘要

Wind power is a growing resource around the world. It's cropping up in new countries all the time, places such as Turkey, for instance. The need to harness wind energy in Turkey - along with the wind industry's need for knowledgeable technical employees - has led to a plan to establish a facility that educates potential wind technicians in that country. The plan is the Wind Academy Turkey. "Wind Academy Turkey will take individuals with an technical background and give them a strong foundation for a career as a wind-turbine technician," says Academy cofounder Ethan Hunter. "Graduates will be fully capable of performing the work using safe work practices essential to the success of new and existing wind projects," he says.
