Digital site orientation

The project
The learning transformation
Empire Wind is an offshore wind project being developed by Equinor, one of the world's leading energy companies. Before technicians, contractors, and suppliers start work on the project, they need to know the project's safety, environmental, and operational procedures. So, how do you prepare them properly before they even step offshore?
The challenge
CONSISTENT TRAINING ACROSS A DIVERSE WORKFORCE
The Empire Wind project team wanted a digital learning experience to replace the traditional classroom site induction, so everyone working on the project would get the same training.
The people working on Empire Wind have different roles, responsibilities, and technical skills, so they don't all require the same training. The challenge was to communicate critical safety, environmental and operational procedures, and also to get the right content to the right people.
Creating the 'classroom feeling' in a digital format
Knowing the workforce’s preferences, it was important for us to create the safe and well-known “classroom feeling” in this new digital format. So, to re-create some of the dynamics in a physical classroom while maintaining the flexibility of digital learning, we introduced a digital instructor who acted as a narrative red thread across all 16 learning modules.
The instructor guides learners, introduces topics, asks reflective questions, and makes complex safety information more accessible and relatable.
The solution
Knowing the workforce
MEET THE TEAM
The x factor: arriving better prepared from day one
By moving the site orientation online, Empire Wind gains a scalable, cost-effective training solution that reduces the need for in-person classroom sessions and travel. Technicians, contractors, and suppliers can complete training anywhere and arrive onsite better prepared from day one.
Everyone on the project receives the same standardised training, tailored to their role, so critical safety knowledge is consistently shared across the Empire Wind workforce.
