How to get into clean energy

5/30/2017

 
I've had  more than a few people ask me about how to get into clean energy.  They're tired of woking at a company that  isn't meaningful.

Good news, it's easy to get into clean energy!

Clean energy companies are just like other companies, they need  business and technical people.  If you  know operations, marketing, finance, engineering (software and others), HR, clean energy companies will want to hire you.  Clean energy companies need professional s that bring their expertise from other industries into clean energy.  

You can apply for open job descriptions, but it's best to meet a few people in the energy industry  so they can help connect you to the right hiring manager.  The best way to meet people in the industry you want to work in is by going to events.  To overcome 

Events:
  • CleanwebSF
  • Young Professionals in Energy (Bay Area)
  • Software for Renewable Energy - Bay Area

How to come up to speed on the industry:
  • Energy Gang
  • SolarWakeUp
