Issue One 2012 15 Jobs and infrastructure  The wind farms also offer a ray of hope for the coastal regions, where many shipyards have been forced to close in the past. Up to 25,000 jobs will be created in the coming years, says the Windener- gieagentur Bremerhaven/Bremen (WAB) (Bremerhaven/Bremen Wind Energy Agency). The main demand will be for well-trained specialists with maritime experience from the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering. Offshore also calls for an extensive infrastructure: a port terminal is being built in Bremerhaven. The Husum-Schwesing Airport will serve as the service airport for the offshore wind farms off Helgoland and Sylt. Project companies take over the planning. Investment is also being made in training: There is a training centre for the offshore field in Bremen, and another is to be built in North Friesia. The universities of Oldenburg, Bremen and Hanover have founded “ForWind”, a re- search centre for wind power, which offers the postgraduate course “Offshore wind power”.
