NESSIE - NEw Skills & Spaces Impulse for the Education of aspirant energy-transition installers

NESSIE aims to enable the energy transition on coastal regions and islands through workforce development of critical ET installers, resulting in the acquisition of more staff and accelerated knowledge transfer to professionals.

Knowledge & Skills Integration, Digital Learning, and Physical educational space

The E-Campus Approach

The NESSIE E-Campus model is a blended learning hub that combines physical training spaces, a shared digital learning environment, and real-world knowledge from local energy projects into one integrated system. Each lighthouse region develops its own E-Campus, aligned with local needs, while contributing to a wider North Sea network of skills development. Together, these elements create a modern, flexible, and practice-oriented pathway for training the next generation of energy-transition installers.

The Pillars of NESSIE
