Digital Site
Induction
The challenge
One solution; two very different audiences
DigiWind, who works to secure professional careers within the wind industry in Europe, requested a digital site induction learning experience that speaks to two different audiences with different motivations and needs:
University students across Europe: The induction should act as a branding and awareness tool giving inspiration, curiosity, and insight into what a career in the wind industry can look like.
Wind turbine technicians: The induction should prepare professionals for the reality they will meet on wind sites, making them ready and confident and giving them a clear understanding of tasks and safety on wind sites.
From start to completion, the digital site induction adresses the user as a Wind Explorer on a mission to understand the wind world better.
Learners are placed on a learning mission to explore the wind world and understand every critical aspect of a wind site. With each completed module, they travel to a new “territory” within the wind world, building knowledge, confidence, and experience along the way.
The experience is designed as a journey, not a course.
The concept
”Being a wind explorer”
The solution: A digital site induction journey
The DigiWind site induction is built as an immersive digital learning experience that combines storytelling, structure, and exploration.
Learning modules as destinations
All modules are visually organised as locations on a map. As learners progress, they “travel” from one stop to the next.
Each stop represents a key environment within wind site operations, such as:
- A wind turbine
- A vessel
- An offshore substation
- An onshore substation
- A quay side
This structure helps learners understand how different parts of the wind world connect, and where their role fits in.
The personalised Wind Explorer passport
Progression is visualised through a digital passport:
- Learners earn a stamp for each completed module
- The passport fills up as the journey continues
- Users can upload their own photo
- Nationality can be selected, changing the passport’s colour
Completing all modules grants the title:
“Certified Wind Explorer.”
This creates motivation, ownership, and a clear sense of achievement—especially important for technicians preparing for real world work.
Guided by an avatar
A guiding avatar - such as a compass or a symbolic “wind” figure, accompanies learners throughout their journey. The avatar helps explain tasks, introduces new locations, and keeps the learning mission focused and engaging.
The DigiWind site induction learning experience delivers value on multiple levels. Most importantly, DigiWind helps bridge the gap between learning and reality, before learners ever set foot on a wind site.
The value
Motivation, readiness, and insight
For technicians
- Builds familiarity with wind site environments before physical training
- Strengthens confidence and readiness
- Prepares learners for site specific tasks and safety expectations
- Encourages exploration of new skills and competencies
For students
- Sparks curiosity and career imagination
- Shows how real world engineering and sustainability connect
- Provides insight into the diversity of roles within the wind industry
The solution supports two learning styles. A flexibility that ensures relevance for both training and education contexts:
- Guided Journey: A fixed, guided journey that leads learners step by step through the induction (ideal for technicians and students new to the industry).
- Exploratory Approach: An open, exploratory approach that allows learners and educators to navigate freely between modules.
Learning approach
Structured and exploratory
The site induction platform is built to grow. New locations, modules, and learning paths can be added as technology, standards, and industry needs evolve.
DigiWind is not just a site induction tool, it is a long-term digital foundation for onboarding, learning, and career inspiration in the wind industry.
Looking ahead

The x-factor: more than a simulator
This isn’t just a simulator, it’s a broader learning universe.
Instead of taking a one-to-one approach, we’ve built a series of focused simulation exercises that each tackle different aspects of green energy. Users can explore multiple topics and move between disciplines rather than being confined to one setup.
In practice, that means students don’t just learn how something works. They start to understand where it fits. And that’s often the difference between recognising a system and actually being able to work in it.
