The Keep it local program

info

The goal of this program, developed by EDPR and Vestas is to subsidize the Wind Farm Maintenance Technician course given by the Spanish Wind Energy Association (AEE). It is specifically intended for those students living in areas with low population density and low levels of employment within the municipal limits where the wind farms are located. In addition to contributing to the professional training of these students—who in their current situation would not have access to specialized education programs Keep it local also aims to facilitate their access to the working world through the possibility of considering their profiles to be candidates in the selection processes in the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) departments in both EDPR and Vestas.
