The project seeks to advance the adoption of marine energy in Cornwall and Finistère, with particular focus on the island communities of the Parc naturel marin d’Iroise and the Isles of Scilly. Project partners include Cornwall Council, University of Exeter, University of Plymouth and Cornwall Marine Network from the UK, and Conseil général du Finistère, Pôle Mer Bretagne, Technôpole Brest Iroise, IFREMER and Bretagne Développement Innovation from France. MERiFIC was launched on 13th September at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall and runs until June 2014. During this time, the partners aim to Develop and share a common understanding of existing marine energy resource assessment techniques and terminology; Identify significant marine energy resource ‘hot spots’ across the common area, focussing on the island communities of the Isles of Scilly and Parc Naturel Marin d’Iroise; Define infrastructure issues and requirements for the deployment of marine energy technologies between island and mainland communities; Identify, share and implement best practice policies to encourage and support the deployment of marine renewables; Identify best practice case studies and opportunities for businesses across the two regions to participate in supply chains for the marine energy sector; Share best practices and trial new methods of stakeholder engagement, in order to secure wider understanding and acceptance of the marine renewables agenda; Develop and deliver a range of case studies, tool kits and resources that will assist other regions. To facilitate this, the project is broken down into a series of work packages: WP1: Project Preparation WP2: Project Management WP3: Technology Support WP4: Policy Issues WP5: Sustainable Economic Development WP6: Stakeholder Engagement WP7: Communication and Dissemination 5 MERiFIC Skills Development Report This report This report presents the findings of a workshop organised by Pole Mer Bretagne in October 2012 on skills development to support Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) sector. The workshop was hosted at: Sea Tech Week 2012 (Brest, France http://www.seatechweek.com). This event brought together MERiFIC partners but also delegates from the academic community, industry and the public sector to discuss about: - training gaps and needs to promote MRE economic development (session 1) a strategy to develop promotional tools for showcasing facilities and training courses that exist from both side of the English channel (session 2) This report specifically details the general views and perspectives of the participants and the overall outcomes of the different sessions. 6 MERiFIC Skills Development Report 1 Session 1 - Inventory of existing training courses related to MRE sustainable development 1.1 Workshop objectives session 1 A review of the existing skills capacity, in term of training, has been carried out for Cornwall and Brittany regions. The first session was therefore consecrated to the presentation of this inventory. This session aims at promoting discussion to complete this review. It should also initiate exchange and discussion about gaps and future needs regarding training MRE sustainable development. 1.2 Workshop agenda Item Speaker Tuesday 9th afternoon 2 30 pm 2 35 – 5 30 Welcome and introduction Stéphane Alain Riou Deputy Director Pole Mer Bretagne, France Session 1 2 35 pm MERiFIC background 2 45 pm Existing academic and training facilities : a review 3 05 pm Showcasing the Advanced Master in Renewable Marine Energies(RME) – ENSTA Bretagne 3 25 pm Cornwall training formation centres 3 45 pm 4 00 4 20 pm 5 30 pm Inventory completion/amendment Coffee Break Discussion and exchange Summary and close 7 Nicolas Wallet Project Coordinator Cornwall Council, UK Phil Monbet EU Project Manager Pole Mer Bretagne, France Jean Yves Pradillon Professor, ENSTA ENSTA Bretagne, France Nicolas Wallet Project Manager Cornwall Council MERiFIC partners / All All Stéphane Alain Riou Deputy Director Pole Mer Bretagne, France MERiFIC Skills Development Report 1.3 Workshop participants – session 1 Firstname Surname Company / Institution Email CCI de Brest (Brest, France) Norbert.penvern@cci‐brest.fr Norbert PENVERN Auguste CHERY Centre Europeen De Formation Continue Maritime (Concarneau, France) [email protected] Georgia White Cornwall Marine Network (Falmouth, United Kingdom) [email protected] Tim Bowerbank Cornwall Marine Network (Falmouth, United Kingdom) [email protected] Jean‐Yves Pradillon ENSTA Bretagne (Brest, France) jean‐yves.pradillon@ensta‐bretagne.fr Jean‐Philippe Poirier Lycee Vauban ‐ Education Nationale (Brest, France) ctx.inclus.0290012@ac‐rennes.fr Bernard Le Gal Lycee Vauban ‐ Education Nationale (Brest, France) Bernard.Le‐Gal1@ac‐rennes.fr Stéphane Riou Pole Mer Bretagne ‐ Brittany Sea Cluster (Brest, France) Stephane.riou@pole‐mer‐bretagne.com Phil Monbet Pole Mer Bretagne ‐ Brittany Sea Cluster (Brest, France) Philippe.monbet@pole‐mer‐bretagne.com Dominique Kervazo Pole Mer Bretagne ‐ Brittany Sea Cluster (Brest, France) dominique.kervazo@pole‐mer‐bretagne.com Jeremie Bazin Technopole Brest‐Iroise (Brest, France) jeremie.bazin@tech‐brest‐iroise.fr Mohamed Benbouzid University of Brest (Brest, France) Mohamed.benbouzid@univ‐brest.fr Claire Gouvaert HEI School (Lille, France) [email protected] Hélène Vente Conseil Général du Finistère (Quimper, France) [email protected] Jean‐Frédéric Charpentier Ecole Navale / IFREMER (Brest, France) Jean‐frederic.charpentier@ecole‐navale.fr Nicolas Wallet Cornwall Council (Truro, United Kingdom) [email protected] Anne Blavette HMRC, Univ. College Cork (Cork, Ireland) [email protected] 8 MERiFIC Skills Development Report 1.4 Workshop results and discussion All the presentations from the workshop are presented in annex 1. The main focus of the first session was to present the skills area covered by the inventory and the related skills gaps between the French and the English territories. Training courses were divided in two categories: ‐ dedicated training to MRE, ‐ relevant training to MRE. Note that the inventory perimeter for dedicated trainings was the entire national territory, as the one for relevant trainings was basically limited to Brittany and Cornwall. In the first instance, a total of 43 training dedicated and relevant courses were identified, from which 19 were french and 24 english. The number of dedicated MRE training is 4 in each country. The number of relevant trainings is 15 and 20 in Brittany and Cornwall, respectively. This inventory is of course not exhaustive, but it gives an overview of what is currently available to support MRE development. The training details are given in annex 2. The tables 1 and 2 give an overview of the covered topics for both the dedicated and relevant trainings Table 1: Covered topics from dedicated MRE trainings France United Kingdom Background Environment Modelling Structure Hydrodynamics Fluid Project Economy/Policy Energy Security/Monitoring Production x Port x : covered x: uncovered Regarding the dedicated training topics, a preliminary analysis showed that the following topics (1) production and (2) port appeared to not be fully covered in United Kingdom. 9 MERiFIC Skills Development Report Table 2: Covered topics from relevant MRE trainings Hydrodynamic, Structure, Materials Offshore Engineering Naval Architecture Project Management Modelling Environmental Engineering Electrical & Electronics Engineering Industrial Processes Safety, Risk Management Energy Issues Law, Policy, Market, Ethic Manufacturing CAD, GIS and spatial planning France United Kingdom x x x : covered x: uncovered Similarly for relevant trainings, topics like (1) energy issues and (2) manufacturing appeared to not be fully covered in Brittany, as well as electrical & electronics engineering in Cornwall. However, after discussion, it seems that in Brittany, continuing education organisms such as CNAM, CFAI provide some training about energy issues and especially on electronic regulation and materials. Plymouth, Bristol and Exeter universities also provide electrical & electronics engineering courses. Thus, overall both regions and countries provide dedicated and relevant ‘academic’ training. The absence of ‘professional’ training and continuing education within the inventory was clearly highlighted as this kind of training seems to be important to support the development of MRE. The main reason to explain this lack of kind of training within the inventory is that related information was hard to find on the web (main information source to establish this inventory). The same remark was formulated for ‘apprenticeship’ related to relevant training. The workshop delegates also quickly highlight the fact that a ‘MRE specialisation’ represents often only a top layer of a ‘relevant or related’ background. For example, an engineer in ‘electronics’ who wants to increase his skills portfolio might be able to follow a dedicated training like a MRE specialized master. Basically, career in MRE is mainly focus on science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). During the workshop, there was then a consensus of opinion about the need to render relevant ‘STEM’ trainings more attractive using both their potential access to ‘maritime’ and ‘MRE’ activities. This is especially true for undergraduate and trainings or apprenticeship for jobs such as boilermaker, welder etc… In the above context, several initiatives are worth to be mentioned in Brittany. Indeed, the CFCEM (European Maritime Training Center) provides adapted and customisable training to support the offshore wind sector by providing the necessary maritime skills to onshore wind technicians. The Chamber of Commerce from Brest (CCI) already provides some relevant training for MRE. However, the CCI along with several other Brittany partners, are currently setting up a dedicated ‘professional training’ about ‘installation and maintenance’ of MRE. In United Kingdom, the Crown Estate and renewableUK support inititatives to address skills shortages within the industry. Indeed, they recently launched (October 2011) a £1.2m 10 MERiFIC Skills Development Report Renewables Training Network, which aims to facilitate the transition of professionals into the offshore wind industry from other sectors. They also made available bursaries for postgraduates studying for a newly created MSc in Marine Renewable Energy as well as plan to work with secondary schools to engage with pupils making their GS CE options choices, with the aim of attracting the next generation of skilled employees into the offshore wind sector. The crown estate also recently edited a brochure about ‘Your career in offshore wind energy’. This is a very useful guide that contains all needed information about a training and potential jobs career within the offshore wind industry. An illustration of this guide is given below on picture 1. Picture 1: First illustration of the Crown Estate brochure ‘Your career in offshore wind energy’ 11 MERiFIC Skills Development Report In term of existing and ongoing collaboration between France and UK, it is also woth to mention two projects BEEMS and CAMIS. BEEMS stands for Building European Environmental & Maritime Activity. This two year cross border project is funded through the Interreg IVA France (Channel) England Programme. Commencing in September 2012, it aims to stimulate the development and sustained growth of environmental and maritime skills within the marine renewable energy industry (MRE), and to increase the sector’s economic viability through enhanced cross border cooperation and joint working. CAMIS (Channel Arc Manche Integrated Strategy) is a co-operation project, co-funded by the Interreg IV A France (Channel) – England European programme. With a duration of 4 years (2009 -2013) and bringing together 19 French and British partners, its aim is to develop and promote the implementation of an integrated maritime strategy in the Channel area. CAMIS also aims to develop concrete co-operation actions in fields such as workforce development, innovation and maritime clusters, transport and maritime safety. The industry implication issue has also been raised during the workshop discussion. Some workshop delegates in charge of training indicate that the industry is not yet deeply involved to orientate training topics for their need. One explanation is that the market is still emerging and probably not enough mature to be able to request specific trainings. However, the training providers (ie Lycée Vauban) want to anticipate these potential requests and be sure that the teachers will be ready when the training will emerge. 12 MERiFIC Skills Development Report 2 Session 2 – Promotional tools to showcase the training facilities that exist across the regions 2.1 Workshop objectives session 2 The second session was devoted to the development of promotional tools to showcase the training facilities that exist across the regions, and to encourage the development of a strong skills base as will be required to support this emerging industry. 2.2 Workshop agenda Item Speaker Wednesday 10th morning 9 30 – 12 00 Session 2 9 35 MERiFIC background (if needed) and session 1 highlights Nicolas Wallet Project Coordinator Cornwall Council, UK 9 45 Development of a strong skills base to support the emerging MRE industry Nicolas Wallet Project Coordinator Cornwall Council, UK 10 00 Promotional tools to showcase the facilities that exist across the regions Phil Monbet EU Project Manager Pole Mer Bretagne, France 10 30 Coffee Break 11 00 Discussion and exchange MERiFIC partners / All 11 50 Summary & close Stéphane Alain Riou Deputy Director Pole Mer Bretagne, France 13 MERiFIC Skills Development Report 2.3 Workshop participants – session 2 Firstname Surname Company / Institution Email CCI de Brest (Brest, France) Norbert.penvern@cci‐brest.fr Norbert PENVERN Georgia White Cornwall Marine Network (Falmouth, United Kingdom) [email protected] Tim Bowerbank Cornwall Marine Network (Falmouth, United Kingdom) [email protected] Jean‐Philippe Poirier Lycee Vauban ‐ Education Nationale (Brest, France) ctx.inclus.0290012@ac‐rennes.fr Bernard Le Gal Lycee Vauban ‐ Education Nationale (Brest, France) Bernard.Le‐Gal1@ac‐rennes.fr Stéphane Riou Pole Mer Bretagne ‐ Brittany Sea Cluster (Brest, France) Stephane.riou@pole‐mer‐bretagne.com Phil Monbet Pole Mer Bretagne ‐ Brittany Sea Cluster (Brest, France) Philippe.monbet@pole‐mer‐bretagne.com Dominique Kervazo Pole Mer Bretagne ‐ Brittany Sea Cluster (Brest, France) dominique.kervazo@pole‐mer‐bretagne.com Jeremie Bazin Technopole Brest‐Iroise (Brest, France) jeremie.bazin@tech‐brest‐iroise.fr Mohamed Benbouzid University of Brest (Brest, France) Mohamed.benbouzid@univ‐brest.fr Nisha Le Joliff Pole Mer Bretagne ‐ Brittany Sea Cluster (Brest, France) nisha.lejoliff@pole‐mer‐bretagne.com Laëtitia Baccon Maison de l’emploi et de la formation (Brest, France) l.baccon@mefp‐paysbrest.com Nicolas Wallet Cornwall Council (Truro, United Kingdom) [email protected] Anne Blavette HMRC, Univ. College Cork (Cork, Ireland) [email protected] 14 MERiFIC Skills Development Report 2.4 Workshop results and discussion The second session of the workshop was set up to be the most interactive as possible in order to get the feedback and the needs from the delegates about the promotional strategy. Thus, the Pole Mer Bretagne prepared a presentation that addressed the following items: ‐ The targeted audience, ‐ Messages to develop, ‐ Available tools, ‐ Implementation. Regarding the targeted audience, the delegates rapidly agree that the primary audience should be both engineering professionals (developers, operators) and students (including engineering schools, universities through post/under –graduates and schools and maritime academy/school). The secondary audience that may be reached could be the decision makers such as regional councils or public organisations that are in charge of, or related to education schemes. Corporations could also be an interesting audience to reach. The ideal approach would be to develop single promotional tools that can simultaneously be valuable for both the primary and the secondary audience. So both sides could benefit to be aware of what is available and needed to support a strong skills base. In term of messages to develop, the following suggestions were made by the delegates: ‐ ‘sale the job’ in terms of ethic, exciting aspects, salary, international career, evolution, innovation, technological aspects, leading edge technology … ‐ Talk ‘quantitatively’ about job numbers and opportunities ‐ Available regional skills (for professionals) ‐ Get a clear mapping of the available regional facilities Regarding the tools, all the delegates unequivocally agreed that a website is the best way to reach the primary and secondary audiences. However, the website content is of primary importance. Even if this was out of scope of the workshop, some suggestions were made about the content that should at least include imagery, testimonials, industry partnership, courses information (and evaluation?), career path, event agenda… More importantly, this website should be able to increase the dissemination of information through a relevant ‘link’ section. Moreover, the website should ideally be cited in existing (and more traditional) key websites such as for UK whatuni.com, seavision.org.uk or for France etudiantsdelamer.com, nadoz.org, onisep.fr … Some other tools were also evoked: ‐ smart phone application ‐ newsletters ‐ events (student fair, MRE trade show…) ‐ knowledge transfer through academic and or professional exchanges 15 MERiFIC Skills Development Report ‐ outreach activities (eg research fellow visiting schools) Some other tools such as the ‘MEDIA’ or the ‘social networks (facebook, twitter or linkedln) were also cited. About the media, this was clearly not a priority and it was decided that it could come on a second step after the website creation. The use of the social networks as a promotional tool did not seem to be of interest for the delegates. The next issue that was discussed during this session was about who will be in charge of implementing this promotional tools. The first thoughts and discussion led to designate regional authorities (eg Cornwall Council for Cornwall and Région Bretagne for Brittany). However, there was a clear demand to ensure that the industry should be deeply involve during the whole creation website process as well as during its lifecycle (especially in term of update). Therefore, maritime clusters such as Pole Mer Bretagne or Cornwall Marine Network that bring together companies, academics and local/regional authorities (‘triple helix’ approach) appear to be the ideal organizations to (at least) coordinate the implementation of the first steps for the creation of promotional tools. 16 MERiFIC Skills Development Report 3 Conclusions The first session of the workshop confirmed that both regions have training facilities to support the development of MRE (see details in annex 1). On both side of the channel, there are dedicated and relevant trainings that are mainly based on STEM education. These trainings mostly cover similar topics (rather than complementary) in each country and appeared to be appropriate to support a strong skills base for MRE. One can raise the question of a shared training or student exchanges programme, as this initiative could be a major opportunity to strengthen dedicated trainings and prepare to visit different countries whilst studying. Another important aspect of the strong skills base is the continuing education and the apprenticeship that was not properly captured during the inventory work. These kinds of training are often not related and advertised to prepare to MRE. Therefore their potential in building a strong skills base is somewhat under evaluated. The second session of the workshop brought a view and some perspectives about how to develop a strategy to promote and showcase the training facilities across the regions. In this context, the primary audience to target is constituted of professionals (developers, operators) and students at large. The workshop discussion also highlighted the fact that the industry key players as well as decision makers and local/regional authorities should be involved. A dedicated website has been unequivocally chosen to be the main promotional tool and the best way to reach the targeted audience. The website content needs to be defined even if the discussion already brought some ideas. Other tools such as newsletter, event participation or outreach activities were also mentioned during the workshop. Finally, regional clusters, that bring together industry, academics and authorities, appear to be the most appropriate organisation to implement the promotional development strategy. 17 MERiFIC Skills Development Report 4 Perspective Regarding the workshop’s discussion and the development of tools to promote training schemes for the development of MRE in our regions, here is briefly the main content that will feed a future dedicated document: - audience target: MRE profesionals (corporation, body, union), high schools, universities and consular chambers - messages: job (green, innovative, technologic, maritime, ‘exciting’, international) and related training - tool: website that includes available trainings, a job portfolio, career path, event agenda, links (about the training schemes and their provider) - Tool implementation: website designer, search engine optimisation, body in charge… 18 MERiFIC Skills Development Report 5 Annex 1 5.1 Workshop presentation // session 1 Nicolas Wallet – Cornwall Council MERiFIC Introduction Nicolas Wallet Project Manager 09/10/2012 MERiFIC Marine Energy in Far Peripheral and Island Communities Project Outputs: Technologies MERiFIC Marine Energy in Far Peripheral and Island Communities 19 o Improved understanding of marine energy resources and methods for the identification of potential sites, e.g. to inform developers of the opportunities o Cross-comparison and evaluation of marine energy development policies and development of policies/protocols to be applied across the regions MERiFIC Skills Development Report Project Outputs: Technologies o Improved understanding of marine energy resources and methods for the identification of potential sites, e.g. to inform developers of the opportunities o Cross-comparison and evaluation of marine energy development policies and development of policies/protocols to be applied across the regions Project Outputs: Policy Strategy o Strategies for the sustainable development of marine energy potential across the two regions o Integrating Regional, National and European level to the policy shaping strategy Project Outputs: Policy Strategy o Strategies for the sustainable development of marine energy potential across the two regions o Integrating Regional, National and European level to the policy shaping strategy Work Packages • • • • Technology support Policy issues Sustainable economic development Stakeholder engagement 20 MERiFIC Skills Development Report Phil Monbet – Pole Mer Bretagne MERiFIC WP5 – Task 5.3 Skills development Objective: Identify both the existing skills capacity and future needs within the two regions to support the development of marine renewable energy.

The economies of Europe and the USA have to a large extent gone through similar changes. • Whereas the EU and the USA previously relied on the dominance of agriculture, fishery and manufacturing, the economies in both the USA and in Europe have become much more service intensive, enabled not least by the penetration of ICT and environmental issues. • In January, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown revealed plans to create at least 100,000 UK jobs as part of a public works scheme to ease unemployment during the recession. A crucial part of this plan is investment in alternative energy sources and green technology, creating 'green jobs' in wind and wave power. US President Barack Obama has also planned a multi-billion-dollar Green New Deal, but, relative to the size of Britain's economy, Brown’s New Deal is actually even bigger. Nicolas WALLET EU Project Manager STW 10/10/12 [email protected] Sector skill assessment: Why develop strong skills basis? www.euskills.co.uk see 2010 report • UK windfarm jobs ‘may go to foreigners’ Keith Findlay | 19/07/2012 “It is extremely important that we work in collaboration with our industries to tackle the looming skills shortages facing the gas, power and water industries.” – •“[…] offshore wind developments around the UK may have to rely on a largely foreign workforce because of a severe skills gap” Jack Carnell, Chairman, Energy & Utility Skills Ltd Power, all methods including MREs – Nuclear excluded •“According to some economic experts, indirect employment could take the tally to nearly 70,000 by 2020.” •MREs is an Emerging industry that will produce a lot of High VAT added value jobs, this is cardinal for peripheral regions to have the right skills to develop this market. Estimates of total workforce UK England Generation 18,000 13,000 Transmission and distribution (including contractors) 44,900 31,100 Supply 21,500 15,500 Corporate functions 6,500 4,500 Estimated self-employed 3,000 2,000 Total 93,900 66,700 28 MERiFIC Skills Development Report • European Union-wide action to increase the use of renewable energy, the UK has committed to sourcing 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020 – an increase in the share of renewables by almost a factor of seven from about 2.25% in 2008, in scarcely more than a decade. MREs Skills needed! Working for a Green Britain: Vol 2 Future Employment and Skills in the UK Wind & Marine Industries • The industry holds huge long-term potential, and the UK needs to capitalise on its lead in technology R&D to bring forward significant socioeconomic benefits. According to the Carbon Trust, marine energy deployment by 2050 could be over 240GW, and worth £76 billion in value 29 MERiFIC Skills Development Report Skills Quickly / Risks of failure • Action Plan Should the sector develop as rapidly as we anticipate, recruitment problems and skills shortages could become even more manifest if urgent action is not taken now to address the supply of skills to the sector. It is essential that the skills system deliver the right skills at the right time. Failure to act in this area now could permanently damage the prospects for UK renewable energy employment growth for years to come. The Importance of these MREs Skills 1. Policy makers and the providers of learning need continued robust labour market intelligence, stating how workforce requirements will develop over time, on which to base their plans. This has to come direct from employers and drawn together into an industry-wide picture of what skills will be required, by when. 2. Employers and the providers of learning need to collaborate more in order to ensure that the outputs of learning (i.e. skills) are in line with employers’ needs. 3. Government needs to ensure that the UK’s skills system is flexible enough accommodate the needs of a very rapidly changing industry, this including a funding regime that is flexible enough to meet the needs of all employers. 4. All parties need to collaborate to identify and promote the career opportunities and pathways that are available within the industry to young people and mature entrants alike. • • • If insufficient skills are available from within the UK labour market, the sector, if it is to meet its installed capacity targets, may have to resort to Europe to supply essential goods and services (for example, the “offshoring” of design and manufacturing jobs to European competitors). Similarly, European contractors could be brought in to install, operate and maintain UK facilities. This will be expensive for the sector and ultimately for consumers. This outcome would see the UK fail to secure the domestic socioeconomic benefits that the sector has to offer Courses in UK • • • • • • • • • Courses in UK University of Exeter - BSc Renewable Energy.
