• Funding – PES provided $1,000,000 seed funding – Seeking $10M in philanthropic donations over 3 years • Offering Apply online: – Scholarship: $2000, $2000 and $3000 in year 1, 2 and 3 • www.ee-scholarship.org • Apply by June 30, 2012 Career experiences – • Awardees notified in – Mentors September, 2012 Looking at Global Options for 2012 & 2013 The Problem

+ Over the next 5 years, as many as 50% of engineers in the power industry could need replacing—mainly due to retirements

+ At the same time, demand for qualified power engineers is projected to increase

+ This path is not sustainable US Workforce Survey: Age Distribution . Survey Participants

– 55 Electric & Gas Utilities

– All Electric Cooperatives

– ~ ½ of all US electric & combination utility employees

. Done in 2007, 2008 & 2009

. Engineers that may need replacement by 2014 ~51%
