Offshore Wind Ready for Massachusetts Companies

This registration is for the Offshore Wind Ready educational program presented by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, and hosted by the Oceantic Network. The training is on Thursday, November 7th, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST.

As the offshore wind industry in Massachusetts continues to expand, we must ensure equal opportunities for participation and benefits for historically marginalized communities. This includes businesses owned by groups that have been historically excluded from economic opportunities, such as Wampanoag, Narragansett, Nipmuc, Abenaki, Native Americans, African Americans, Cape Verdean Americans, Arab Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, women, veterans, LGBTQ individuals, people of color, members of the global majority, and people with disabilities.

After you register, you will receive an email containing complete program information.
