What are the job prospects for ETaP graduates?
Fields related to clean energy and climate change mitigation have been growing rapidly, and in many areas there is a shortage of trained professionals to meet demand. According to the Pew Charitable Trust (2009), jobs in the US “clean energy economy” grew by an average of 1 percent annually during the past 10 years, while total US employment grew by an average of 0.4 percent annually.* ETaP students have a very good track record for gaining employment following graduation. The career paths chosen by ETaP graduates vary according to their areas of expertise and prior training. Recent graduates have jobs working for private sector consulting firms, local and national government agencies, public utilities commissions, and international development organizations. *Pew Charitable Trusts (2009).
