Educators

Do you have students who might excel in energy careers?

Traditional energy suppliers project losing half their current workforce to retirements within the next 5-10 years. At the same time, the demand for alternative and renewable energy sources is on the rise.These two trends, combined with anticipated upgrades, expansion, and maintenance of Connecticut’s electric utility system, are expected to create a wave of job opportunities in the energy sector.

The Connecticut Energy Workforce Development Consortium compiles information about internships, hands-on activities, professional development opportunities, and career pathways for jobs in traditional, alternative, and renewable energy. We encourage you and your students to explore our site.
