Sustainable Energy Careers

Sustainable Energy Careers

On behalf of the American Energy Society and The Green Program, I would like to thank you for joining our Nov 17 Zoom call on Sustainable Energy Careers.  This page contains a collection of links and resources we hope you will find helpful especially after the call.  Enjoy!  Mike Brownell

 

The American Energy Society.  An absolute treasure trove of energy information.   You should join the Society to get the kind of information you need to build up practical knowledge of the energy industry.  They publish several excellent newsletters.  Great way to make contacts, too.

The Green Program.  Dayaway has met so many young professionals now working in cleantech who did an oversees tour of duty with TGP.  Imagine learning about sustainability by spending a little time in Iceland, Peru, Nepal or Japan.   Imagine the relationships you’ll make and have for life.

Top 5 Dayaway Resources To Check Out:

  • Jobs Listserv – subscribe to our listserv to get a weekly email summarizes that week’s jobs and job finding tips.
  • Informational Interviewing Tips – read these short articles (2min) to learn how to make contacts who can help you find a job or internship.  People get people jobs!  Informational Interviewing #1, Informational Interviewing#2,  Informational Interviewing#3 and Informational Interviewing#4
  • Project Management Training.  An entry level job in the area of project management is one of the best ways to get into cleantech if you are not an engineer, computer science or finance major.  But, most schools do not teach PM.  This article lists a ton of great online project management training courses to help you develop basic PM skills.
  • Dayaway Job Search.  This page allows you to search entry level cleantech jobs by major, degree, industry, company name and more.  We handpick 100 – 150 fresh cleantech jobs every week.
  • The personal touch.  I spend a ton of time every week talking by email and phone to young professionals passionate, or maybe just curious, about getting a job or internship in renewable energy and related sectors like EVs, energy storage, micro-grids and more.  I am happy to chat with you, too.    Just email me at mike@dayawaycareers.com.
