Teach-the-Teacher
The vision of DOB-Academy is ‘Empowering Engineering Excellence.’ Their goal is to provide challenging education to the offshore energy industry to accelerate the energy transition.
The strategy on public outreach is to make their material available to an even wider audience. DOB-Academy engages with primary schools to teach technology sessions; with secondary schools (HAVO/VWO) in seminars and workshops.
Higher education is reached by our Teach-the-Teacher program in co-operation with NWEA and CAREER. The company provides the material, the connection with industry and build the network of teachers to reach and inspire the nation-wide workforce of tomorrow today.
Public face of re-use and decommissioning
As the public face of re-use and decommissioning of oil and gas infrastructure in the Netherlands, Nexstep will inform and engage stakeholders and the general public about its work.
They will do that by promoting transparency about re-use and decommissioning including its scope in the Netherlands by yearly publishing the Re-use and Decom report, develop information material on the challenges of decommissioning (in print and online), weekly updates on LinkedIn and regular news items on their website.
Thus making the citizens of the Netherlands aware of the impressive task that is going to be carried out at the North Sea in the coming decades.
