Workforce Partners

Since 2016, the Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (EPIC) has maintained formal collaboration with industry and government partners on workforce development. The EPIC Workforce Partners program evolves these long-standing relationships, allowing both EPIC and its collaborators to achieve far greater impact than they could alone, particularly in the vital arena of workforce development.

This program is designed to bring industry and engineering students together to build a stronger workforce for the energy and power sector. It’s a great way for companies to get their brand in front of students and faculty while helping us bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world. By joining our community, partners are not just supporting the next generation of engineers, they’re making sure their team has a direct line to the talent and fresh ideas needed to keep the industry moving forward!
