Session Chair:
Mackenzie L. Gorham (Idaho State)
Session Organizer:
In response to a growing need for Engineering Technicians in the energy sector, the College of Technology at Idaho State University has established the Energy Systems Technology and Education Center (ESTEC) on the Idaho State University campus in Pocatello, Idaho. ESTEC offers one Basic Technical Certificate, two Intermediate Technical Certificate, and six Associate of Applied Science degrees. ESTEC provides a unique approach to educating students by providing the specific knowledge and skills needed in energy production. The skills requirements have been developed in partnership with energy utilities and vendors to assure that program graduates enter the workforce with the precise skills required by the energy industry in a broad spectrum of electrical, nuclear, coal, gas, renewable technologies. and allied manufacturing sectors. Students learn through traditional classroom experience as well as through extensive laboratory exercises. The panel will consist of current staff, students, graduates, and employers, and the discussion will facilitate commentary on operations and maintenance workforce needs and development, and how partnering closely with technical colleges and universities can provide a needed hiring pipeline of qualified and competent entry-level technicians.
