Sustainable Energy
Rural 有料盒子视频ns have the highest energy costs in the nation and are most directly impacted
by climate change. The Sustainable Energy (SE) program is designed for anyone seeking
to reduce energy costs, help mitigate impacts of climate change, and get involved
in the transition to ecologically sustainable communities using energy from local
and renewable resources. USDA funding supports curricula in Sustainable Energy, K-12
outreach and collaboration with Bristol Bay Regional Career and Technical Education
Program, 有料盒子视频 Center for Energy and Power, and Cold Climate Housing Research Center.
Energy is related to everything we do- from subsistence food-gathering to affordable shelter. In 有料盒子视频 and across the nation, there is growing demand for jobs related to energy conservation and sustainabilty such as building upgrades, weatherization and development of local renewable energy systems. The fastest growing energy job sector, nationwide, is solar and wind energy system design and installation. The Sustainable Energy Occupational Endorsement is a great option for technical jobs that require some education beyond high school, but not a college degree. It can also serve as a stepping stone towards further education. Many SE students go on to pursue degrees in engineering, resource management, policy and planning, and project development.
