Energizing Tomorrow's Workforce: Creating Pathways to Electrical Utility Careers

This 4-page Program Support Case Study, provided by Internet Scout Research Group, is part of the Working Partners Toolkit. This toolkit was designed to help educators strengthen their relationship with industry and includes six case studies. The case studies are gathered from successfully initiated and sustained education-industry partnerships and are intended to help users gain tips and inspiration for implementing and sustaining industry partnerships. 

This case study discusses the partnership between Richmond Community College, Duke Energy, and others from the electric utility industry. These partnerships resulted in the creation of the Electric Utility Substation and Relay Technology Program (EUSRT) at Richmond Community College. This paper includes the following sections: Key Outcomes, Summary, Impacts, Challenges, Implementation Strategies, and Additional Resources. The Working Partners Toolkit and other case studies are available to view separately.
