A free 90-minute workshop introducing job seekers to potential careers in the offshore wind energy industry will take place on Wednesday starting at 5:30 p.m. at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County at 423 North Griffing Avenue in Riverhead.

The presentation, to be given by Suffolk Community College in partnership with the Institute for Workforce Advancement, is appropriate both for experienced professionals and those just starting out in the field. High schoolers to working adults can sign up online at tiny.cc/WindCareers.

The Cornell extension describes Long Island as a leader in offshore wind operations, with a number of projects either completed or on the way, including South Fork Wind, a 132-megawatt farm operational for almost a year, and Sunrise Wind, a 924-megawatt farm that broke ground in July, both east of Montauk.

"This workshop provides an ideal way to find your role within offshore wind's broad range of careers, whether you are seeking blue-collar or white-collar opportunities," August Ruckdeschel, clean energy coordinator with the extension, said in a statement. "Offshore wind power will not only help build Long Island's green economy, it will also deliver good-paying union jobs."
