Kick-start your Offshore career with Atlas NextWave

The Atlas NextWave New Entrant programme is a free-of-charge programme where committed, professional and enthusiastic individuals with transferrable skills can begin a career offshore within the renewables sector.

The reason for starting the Atlas New Entrant Programme was due to the skills shortage, UK government figures also show that 70000 new workers will be required to work in the Renewables sector within the UK by 2030, hence the reason for acting upon it now.
