2021 Offshore Renewable Energy Series

*Joining the Offshore Wind Energy Workforce*
February 19, 2020
1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

With the growth of the Offshore Wind Energy (OWE) industry taking place
right in our backyard, the question is posed, how can current students and
recent graduates best prepare themselves to enter this new workforce? This
roundtable-style workshop will feature a discussion between a panel of
industry professionals and University of Rhode Island students covering
topics from what employers look for in an applicant to how the industry is
developing in relation to existing energy industries.* Join us
