For Employers > Hiring the Next Generation of Energy Management Personnel

It is expected that 35% of the workforce will need to be replaced in the electric power industry by 2018 (see Bureau of Labor Statistics report). This amounts to 3,500 jobs! Utilities urgently need well qualified, NERC Certified candidates with the right skills and attitude to replace the large number of retiring system operators. Increased NERC and FERC standards are placing ever more requirements on the abilities of the entry level power system operator, which means stretching the existing training program to its limits.

Power4Vets™ recruits, trains, and places the military's best and brightest as smart-grid trained energy managers at utilities across the nation.

Even before they start the power organization's application process, they will have experienced system blackouts and other major system events, and received their NERC Certification. Power4Vets students are often able to reduce the burden and risk of hiring a new system operator trainee because of their unique background and training in the Power4Vets™ program.

Every electric power organization should know how this program can provide them with candidates who are:

» NERC Certified
» Trained Using Simulation
» Real-World Tested in Emergency Operations
» Motivated to enter a new profession
