Department of Energy hopes to identify service skills and experience that leads to careers in the energy industry.

The Department of Energy (DoE) wants to identify the military skills that lead to careers in the energy industry. As part of that initiative, DoE is asking for feedback from veterans who have held or currently hold positions as building engineers, energy auditors, energy managers or commissioning agents.

Veterans with experience in those professions are asked to email econ@legion.org or maureen.roskoski@feapc.com to be directed to DoE for a brief interview about their military experience, barriers they faced in entering the energy industry and how they were able to use their service skills to help them in their careers.

DoE's efforts are part of a larger initiative that aims to help veterans find work in the energy industry. DoE is hoping to identify the military skills that make a veteran successful in an energy career, and then use their findings to facilitate veterans into the industry through programs and informational campaigns.

The American Legion's Veterans Employment & Education Division is providing feedback in an advisory role.
