A top priority for Minnesota State Energy Center of Excellence has been program development to prepare technicians for the energy production and transmission industries. Degree programs cover the broad spectrum of energy production technologies including biodiesel, ethanol, fossil fuels, natural gas, power line transmission, solar, and wind.

We engage with industry, enhance education, and inspire students through a variety of activities and partnerships.

Powering our future is up to all of us. During Minnesota’s Careers in Energy Month the Minnesota Energy Consortium invites communities to engage and explore how to participate in the future energy workforce. Visit Minnesota West Campuses to see if a high-demand and high-paying career in energy is right for you.

As a result, the Minnesota Energy Consortium continues to build community for our utilities, state colleges and universities, state agencies, unions, and community organizations to ensure and develop a skilled and knowledgeable energy workforce.
