By Gridinta Team

Website update — 6 September 2026: Solwinda website content is now on Gridinta. The Solwinda link in this article leads to our website move announcement; the account of the event below is preserved.

Gridinta, in partnership with Solwinda renewable energy company and Novikontas, joined forces with Klaipėdos valstybinė kolegija (KVK) to give students a genuine inside look at wind-farm operations and industrial service work. The students visited the Novikontas training site, got briefed on wind-farm maintenance workflows, industrial rope-access techniques and what a career in renewable energy actually looks like.

What students saw

  • The trio of companies showcased practical tasks across wind-park maintenance, high-altitude access and safety protocols.
  • Students asked questions about job paths, certifications such as IRATA training, and how theory meets the turbine in the field.
  • The collaboration reinforced how industry and education can partner up to prepare the next generation of professionals.
