Energy Career Fair at UWGB

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 WPS, the Energy Career Fair will allow attendees to explore careers from electric power distribution to energy efficiency through a series of exciting hands-on demonstrations and stations. At our seven 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.
