Abstract
This Lessons Learned paper highlights the authors’ experience during a collaborative training program between academia and one of the leading manufacturers of wind turbine technology in the United States. This program took place over five weeks. The participants of the program engaged in classroom theorem and hands-on activities related to onshore wind turbines' safe and effective maintenance. This paper offers insights from academic faculty on the effectiveness of industry-based training and how collaborative programs can benefit both academia and industries.
