GWO Training Provider of the Year – North America 2025

STL USA has once again been nominated for the prestigious Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Training Provider of the Year Award – North America 2025. This recognition highlights not only the quality of the training we deliver but also our commitment to raising safety standards across the wind energy industry.

The GWO Awards: Celebrating Excellence in Safety Training

The Global Wind Organisation, founded in 2009 by leading wind turbine manufacturers and owners, is dedicated to creating a safer and more productive workforce within the wind energy sector. The GWO Awards were established to celebrate training providers who go above and beyond in advancing these objectives.

Each year, the awards recognize organizations that deliver outstanding results in safety training, innovation, and industry impact. Being nominated is no small feat—it places training providers in a select group recognized for excellence, leadership, and unwavering dedication to protecting workers and improving the performance of companies in the renewable energy sector.

Why the Awards Matter

The wind industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global energy mix, but it is also inherently high-risk. Technicians operate in challenging environments, often at great heights and in remote locations. For this reason, quality training is the foundation of both individual safety and industry-wide success.

The GWO Training Provider of the Year Award is a benchmark of excellence. It signifies that the nominated company is not only compliant with international standards but is also pushing those standards forward. It is a recognition of leadership, innovation, and a commitment to keeping technicians safe while ensuring companies remain competitive and successful.

For STL USA, being nominated once again demonstrates that our team continues to meet—and exceed—the highest standards in wind industry training.
