Clean Energy Career Fair at Madison College 2026
Friday, November 6, 2026 | Truax Campus | Madison College
We invite you and your students to join us and our partners this fall for an exploration of energy careers. The energy industry is experiencing rapid growth and there is a rising demand for people with expertise in energy-related fields. Sponsored by WPPI Energy, the Clean Energy Career Fair will allow attendees to explore careers from energy efficiency through solar energy through a series of exciting hands-on demonstrations and stations. At our four unique stations, students and educators will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with promising career paths and how they can shape the future. The stations will be offered concurrently for 25-minutes each to keep students engaged and interested throughout the day. We hope to see you there!
