Renewable Energy Mentorship Program for Under-Represented Minority StudentsOverview:
Accelerating the transition to a clean energy economy is one of the most important challenges of our lifetime. Key to doing this successfully is ensuring that leading companies can identify, recruit, and nurture skilled young professionals with the potential to lead this critical and fast-growing industry. In other words, we need you.
Unfortunately, not every community has equal access to the mentorship, training, and network relationships that so often open doors. Together, LevelTen Energy, EnergyGPS, Google, Gridstor, and University of Washington, are taking on the shared mission to bring more talented and diverse young professionals into the renewable energy industry via the Energy Scholars Mentorship Program. The Energy Scholars program is a paid internship and mentorship program designed to equip dedicated and capable college scholars with the skills required to secure (and excel in) well-paid jobs in the renewable energy industry.
The program divides students into quantitative and general disciplines depending on interest and capabilities. The corresponding curriculum progresses you through well-defined learning modules, spearheaded by industry-leading organizations. Energy Scholars will also benefit from exposure to a dynamic cohort of other students and researchers in the clean energy revolution through collaboration with EarthLab and the Clean Energy Institute at the University of Washington.
Participating Companies:
Energy GPS: EnergyGPS crunches the numbers. Clients rely on EnergyGPS for rigorous, unbiased advice relating to the value and risk associated with renewable resources. Time spent in the EnergyGPS shop will provide scholars with a broad overview of what makes energy markets tick.
LevelTen Energy: LevelTen Energy will provide an in-depth look into how we use technology to operate a liquid, centralized renewable energy marketplace that enables buyers and sellers to connect and transact more easily. Time at LevelTen will be spent with a variety of teams (marketing, sales, analytics, product, and commercial teams) to understand software-as-a-service in the energy industry, and to grasp the renewable energy procurement process from beginning to end.
Google: Google is one of the worlds largest renewable energy buyers and will provide students with two days of content from an energy buyers perspective. Topics will include renewable energy goal setting, project evaluation, procurement, and policy. Google has matched their annual electricity consumption with renewable energy for four years running and is now building on their progress to target an even larger ambition: by 2030, Google aims to run on entirely 24/7 carbon-free energy.
GridStor: GridStor develops, owns, and operates large-scale battery energy storage systems, providing superior value through wholesale electricity market operations and contracted service to sophisticated customers.
The University of Washington: Ranked No. 7 in the world on the U.S. News & World Reports Best Global Universities rankings, the University of Washington (UW) aspires to be the #1 university in the world as measured by impact. EarthLab is a visionary institute at the UW that pushes boundaries to address our most pressing environmental challenges, with urgency and action on climate and its intersection with social justice. The Clean Energy Institute (CEI) at the UW accelerates the adoption of a scalable clean energy future that will improve the health and economy of our state, nation, and world. Together, these two innovative UW institutes will partner with participating companies as transdisciplinary university liaisons to provide incoming Energy Scholars with university seminars, networking opportunities, and on-campus support as they work to address climate and other pressing environmental issues.
Objectives:
Success of the Energy Scholars program will be measured by the number of scholars successfully placed in the renewable energy industry upon graduation. Core curriculum objectives include:
The quantitative cohort will include an electricity trading simulation, spreadsheet modeling of renewable energy transactions, research into viability of renewable energy goals, and more.
The general cohort will be comprised of marketing, sales, HR, policy and more.
