Potential Careers in Wind Energy Technology

Redstone College can prepare you for an exciting entry-level career in green energy.* It’s worth noting that Colorado, a national wind energy leader, generates the third highest percentage of power from wind of any state.** The state has been successful in attracting investment for wind energy manufacturing and large wind energy projects, boding well for career opportunities in the area.

According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), the U.S. wind industry currently employs about 50,000 domestic workers. AWEA estimates that if the U. S. Department of Energy realizes its goal of “20 percent wind energy by 2030,” the industry would support 500,000 jobs across varied wind technology fields.
