Energy Center

To ensure that the education and training offered meet the needs and expectations of the potential employers of our students, an External Advisory Board has been formed. This part of the project will be led by the Indiana Energy Systems Network, which is a catalyst for partnerships among private firms and research institutions in Indiana. It will be industry led but include representation from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development through the WorkOne centers as well as  Ivy Tech Community College regional campuses and Purdue University regional campuses. The advisory board is comprised  of select industry representatives such as Duke Energy, Indianapolis Power & Light,  Indiana Michigan Power, and the Indiana Association of Rural Cooperatives.  The External Advisory Board will ensure relevancy and accuracy of goals and deliverables in addition to participating in the refining of the vision and objectives. Members will help guide the curriculum development at the associate and bachelor levels.  Concerning career paths, these companies represent a relevant sample of Indiana Energy  companies, and can help students in obtaining internships externships and jobs.
