Last month we reported on Careers in Energy Week, October 19-23. At that time The Michigan Energy Workforce Development Consortium (MEWDC), a coalition of energy companies and educators, announced it would launch an outreach initiative that aims to heighten awareness of good-paying, rewarding careers in the energy sector. Shared below is a link to the current job listings from the Lansing Board of Water and Light.

In addition to increasing visibility of careers in energy, the MEWDC also sets out to match job seekers with positions that suit their strengths and passions through this initiative.

LBWL dedicates a portion of their website, listing career and job postings.

The Careers in Energy Week theme is “Get into Energy.” During this five-day campaign, Michigan schools and energy companies will host online tours, panel discussions and career fairs to energize students and people looking for work and/or a rewarding career change. The MEWDC will also host two contests for high schoolers to further increase awareness of careers in the energy sector, which is evolving faster than ever.

“While the energy sector is critical to our state’s infrastructure, it also provides significant career opportunities for residents throughout Michigan,” said Stephanie Beckhorn, LEO’s Director of the Office of Employment and Training. “Supporting initiatives such as Careers in Energy Week spotlights in-demand, high-wage jobs, and it helps us in our mission to close the skills gap that challenges the success of Michigan businesses and our state’s prosperity.”

Additionally, here is a recent campaign by LBWL:

Now in its seventh year, Careers in Energy Week is sponsored by the MEWDC, which includes Consumers Energy, DTE Energy, Lansing Board of Water & Light, Michigan Municipal Electric Association, Michigan Electric and Gas Association (MEGA), and more than 50 industry, workforce and education partners. It’s a great time to get into energy, as the energy sector currently employs more than 147,000 Michigan residents and is expected to grow 8% in the Great Lakes State through 2028.
