The future of the energy industry is our young people. Stirring their interest in energy careers is key to inspiring a new generation of innovators, researchers, and leaders.
The Office of Fossil Energy recognizes this too and offers a number of STEM workforce development programs. Assistant Secretary Steven Winberg shares some of these STEM opportunities in his new blog STEM Rising:
Besides these programs, NETL also offers Graduate Education Programs available from undergraduate up through postdoc education.
I strongly believe it is our responsibility to help these students in their preparation for rewarding careers in STEM.
Steve Winberg, U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy
Winberg believes that students deserve access to high-quality STEM education and that it is our nation's responsibility to provide them the tools they need to pursue rewarding careers in STEM. We couldn't agree more.
